Depends: Hard to say without benefit if an exam. The two most common causes are usually either a sciatica, which is the irritation of a nerve in the back causing pain in the leg, or a problem in the area that is painful. Did you have a significant injury? Don't hesitate to be seen if it wa injured or the pain is severe.
