A member asked:
I have pain in my left leg. it radiates from my buttocks to behimd my knee it hurts to sit at times but standing makes it better. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radiating pain: With your history of low back pain this could be radicular symptoms from a herniated disc in the lumbar spine. It is also possible from a hamstring strain or peripheral sciatic nerve irritation from something like piriformis syndrome. You should follow up with a physician to further delineate your signs and symptoms and discuss possible imaging studies.
