A member asked:

I have severe hip pain and can hardy move my left leg. i have constant shooting pain from hip down. i also have back pain what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Disc disease/injury: Low back pain radiating down the leg is called sciatica. Given the severity of your complaint, you need to be evaluated by a local doctor, get an xray, and go to physical therapy and take ibuprofen or Naproxen for a month. if not improved, then get an MRI. If exam warrants an MRI early on, your local doctor will get it ordered.
