Are Left-sided Lower Back Pain With Left Thigh Pain Causes For Concern?
I hurt the left side of my lower back getting fast out of the bed. After a hot bth, the pain expanded to the front of my left thigh. I did take some acetaminophen with hydrocodone and aleve but the pain is still very intense. Can I wait to see a doctor until tomorrow morning?

Hi,
You can try with rest, hot fomentation of the back, Acetaminophen pills if the pain is bearable, to exclude muscle pain. If not cured in 5 days then consult an orthopedic doctor for further evaluation (lumbar spondylosis.)
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
