What Causes Sharp Pain In The Back?
I have a sharp pain in my back to the outside of my hip almosty to the right side. In bed I can straighten my leg but if i try to stand up I cant straighten it or put pressure on it and I can't walk on it. The pain goes all the way down to the outside of my ankle.

Hip joint, possibly disk disease.
Pain tells where it is from with location, spread and with pushing/poking different parts on exam. Movement of the hip joint (especially leg outward) causes pain if there is degeneration/arthritis of the hip joint.
A disk gives pain if the nerve going from the back is yanked on by kicking the straightened leg frontwards, and not as much with jolting the hip.
