Suggest Treatment For Back Pain Along With Difficulty Walking

Going on three days now, I woke up already having a bad back ache but I continued on with my morning but later that morning I was ironing my pants standing over my bed and though I was bending slightly to iron them because I was in pain I was also in a upright position and out of nowhere I get this indescribable pain in my back that caused me to fall over. I couldn t stand, sit for too long and could barely walk. I can t sleep on my back, side or stomach. What is this pain in my lower back on the left side that won t go away. It has traveled down my leg but not past my knee. Please help me. Please.

Hello,
I have gone through your query.you said you have backache since 3 days and its radiating till knee.In your case the pain may be sciatic pain which may be because of bulging of lower discs that is L4,L5,L6.It can be ruled out by doing MRI scan.And the other reason may be because of the renal calculi(kidney stones) in this condition also pain may radiate to medial part of thigh.It is always better to go for a proper clinical check up with your family physician to know your problem.

Thanks,hope this might help you.have a nice day.
