Nerves in back: The history is suggestive of symptoms of compression of the nerves of the lower spinal canal; however, other conditions can mimic this. A visit to a neurologist, neurosurgeon or spine surgeon would be prudent.

Symptom Vs Cause: Sciatica is the symptom of leg pain caused by a disc herniation or narrowing where the nerve exits the spine. A disc herniation is a outpouching of the disc from its normal place into the spinal canal or on the nerve and can be a source of pain in the back or down the leg and in your case groin area . The nerve then goes to the muscle which can then hurt, spasm or feel sore or irritated.
