Work up?: Have you had a proper work up of your back and pain? Like a low back xray for starters or MRI to rule out obvious bone pathology or disc problem that could be impinging upon a nerve and thus causing the pain down your legs? If not you really need to see your doctor and have this properly diagnosed. Physical therapy could also help tremendously along with other prescription medications. Best wishes

Nerve: What you describing is classic for nerve entrapment. You may have a pinched nerve in your spinal cord. I would discuss this with your doctor. You need back xrays and further evaluation. Keep using capzacin meanwhile.
