Pinched nerves: The combination of low back pain and leg symptoms suggest the possibility of pinched nerves in your low back. For most patients, lumbar pinched nerves will improve with time and conservative treatment. However, if symptoms persist or worsen or otherwise change dramatically, do see a physician.
