Medical eval: Please let your obstetrician know. I am not sure how far along your pregnancy is or where the pain is in your leg. But pain that travels through the butt & down the back of the leg can be consistent with inflammation of the sciatic nerve (sciatica). Please d/w your physician. Take care.

Back & leg pain: You are taking Methotrexate and tylenol (acetaminophen) for most likely arthritic disease. Pain in lower back and going in right leg is due to nerve compression. There are many causes of nerve compression. Herniated disc, sciatica, spinal stenosis, slipped vertebra or some tumor. Ct scan and neurosurgeon consult. Pl. Read back pain http:// doctorrajput. Com.
