Yes-Exam!: You should be examined by a primary care physician who will probably refer you to an Orthopaedic surgeon for further evaluation. If a thorough medical evaluation doesn't reveal any specific structural problem such as a fracture or nerve irritation, then a basic exercise program which focuses on stretching, strengthening & conditioning of the back and leg muscles may be suggested.
