A member asked:

I have severe pain in my kidney and the pain is shooting down my right leg making it hard for me to walk at times?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nerve pain: Back pain radiating down the leg is more suggestive of intervertebral lumbar disk or spur pressing on a nerve root. I recommend that you consult a neurologist for diagnosis. Appropriate tests will be done.
