Many things: Back pain and associated leg pain are common symptoms of patients at a pain management clinic. Your doctor will first perform a history and physical, focusing on the specifics of your pain complaints and any treatments you have tried. He or she may recommend further testing such as mris or nerve tests to determine the exact cause of your pain before recommending treatment options.

Back pain treatment: There are several ways to treat the back pain depending on the cause of the pain. It might include exercise, physical therapy, medication, chiropractic therapy, injections and surgery. The least invasive way is exercise and physical therapy. It sounds like you are experiencing a nerve pain. Besides medication and exercises, you might benefit from an epidural steroid injection.
