When i bend over to touch my toes i feel a pain in my lower back. what?

When you bend: you stretch your sciatic nerve, the nerve that comes from nerves in your lower back and down your leg. You might want to get checked by an orthopedist to make sure you don't have any impingement on your sciatic nerve.
