A member asked:

I think i pinched a nerve in my hip. the pain goes down my leg. what should i do without going to the doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not much: Besides rest, hope, and prayer. You might have injured your low back too. When pain travels like this, it means you have an injury that involves a nerve, like the sciatic nerve. You need to see a doctor.
