Suggest Treatment For Pain On Right Side Of Back And Discomfort In Leg

a week ago I started feeling a pain on the right side of my back and if I sit it hurts more, I have to stand up or walk around to feel better. I also feel uncomfortable on the same side on my leg or both legs at the same time but most likely on the right side of my leg

Your symptoms are suggestive to lumbar nerve root impingement.go for postural training and physiotherapy exercises if that doesn't help get a MRI done to find out the exact location of impingement and based on that you can consult a pain physician for selective nerve root blocks or epidural steroid injections. Your symptoms will be resolved with these measures but if they still persist consider a operative solution after consulting a spine surgeon.
