Right lower back pain that shoots down my leg?
September 18th, 2009
Daniela asked:
I’ve been having a sharp pain in my right lower back recently and it shoots down my leg. It really hurts when I stand up or sit down. Now the reason I’m worried is because I’m only 15 and back pain isn’t suppose to be common in teenagers. I play water polo so i don’t know if that might be it or not.

Does anyone know what this is and how I can cure it?

I don’t know but you need to see a doctor (or two). I had leg pains my doctor told me to walk a mile every day. I did… In pain… for a while.
later on my leg pain could not be ignored and they did a, ah ah ah oh i can’t remember but it was like a sonogram. they found blood clots. DVT! Look into it, I am on meds for life.

See your health care provider as soon as possible. Pain extending from the lower back to below one knee indicates pressure on the sciatic nerve. See a doctor if you also have weakness in that leg or loss of bladder control. And best of luck.

It could be anything, nerve problem, muscle problem, kidneys or a number of other things…It is impossible to answer your question without knowing what the actual problem is. Ask your Doctor for a referral for a CT or MRI scan.
The wrong type of treatment or exercises can do more damage than good and you need to have your back properly diagnosed prior to ANY treatment.
Again you do need to have a CT / MRI scan or such done before allowing ANYONE to touch your back.
Get a professional opinion from the radiologist doing the scan in his report to your doctor and then go from there.
