What Causes Pain In The Lower Back And Discomfort In The Leg?
Hi. For a long time now I have been experiencing pain in my lower back which seems to be mainly caused from sitting down for long periods of time (at work etc). When I lie down on my back I notice that the resting position of my right leg is turned out. I have the sensation that my entire right leg is turning outwards starting from the hip area. I was wondering if you recognise these symptoms? They don t sound severe when you write them down but I suffer with regular back and hip pain because of this and it is really impeding my working life in particular.
