Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, 4 days ago I did some digging in the garden, until I trapped a muscle in my lower r/h back. Later that night I managed to release the trapped knot. Then 24hrs later I woke up in severe pain in my back and could not stand or put pressure on my right leg. I also had sharp pain running all down my right leg. I took some anti inflammatory s and it seemed to be getting better. But last night the pain came back, putting me back to square 1 again. I can t squat or sit down and the pain in my leg is sharp & pulsating. It s totally fine to walk on or lay day down. Have you any ideas on what I could do please. Mr Phil freshwater

What Causes Severe Pain In The Back And Leg?
Hello, As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
