Sciatica: Your symptom suggest possibility of a lumbar radiculopathy due to pressure on the Sciatic nerve as it leaves the spinal cord. Can be due to a bulging or herniated disc or other causes. See your physician for a specific diagnosis and Rx. For information on back pain see: http://bit.ly/1r1aZ7G and http://bit.ly/1lF3Xcs and http://bit.ly/1v1juFX and http://abt.cm/1CvlgDP
