What Causes Radiating Left-sided Lower Back Pain Towards The Hip And Leg?

Severe lower back pain, hip (most commonly the left side) & pain radiating down mu left leg prior to a BM. So much so it is difficult to get out of bed. This generally occurs in the mirnings & seems to subside follwing going to the bathroom. I have had L5S1 surg in 2002 & am on pain medication due to chronic back pain already, however this is a different type of pain.

Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

In my opinion that could be a kind of sciatica due to nerve compression , from your past history of L5 surgery in 2002 i think it is the most liable cause of such radiating pain .
For my patients i may suggest avoiding heavy lifting , vigorous movements , B12 vitamin supplements , with painkiller , muscle relaxant , hot massages with topical gels will help .
