See your provider...: Be seen for physical exam. Depending on circumstances, this could represent claudication (poor blood flow), degeneration of lower back with compression of sciatic nerve ("sciatica"), or simple muscle strain. Careful history-gathering and exam maneuvers, as well as possible imaging studies, can help tease this out.
