Back and leg pain : It's difficult to determine the true cause of your leg pain, but it can be associated with the back. Please have yourself evaluated by the spine docs at rothman / jefferson. They'll take good care of you and can determine the true cause. Hopefully stretching and pt will do the trick then!
