What Could Cause On And Off Pain In Right Hip, Knee, Shin And Ankle While Moving Around?

I ve been having pain off and on from my right hip down to my knee, sometimes down to my shin and ankle and up and around to my lower back. If I stand in one place (while washing dishes and my knees are locked) when I go to step the pain in my leg is so great and I feel I may not be able to move so I have to use my upper body to swing my leg to get it to move.

Hello. You're having symptoms of a nerve root compression in your lower back, probably from a ruptured disc. You need to talk to your doctor about getting an MRI scan of your lumbar spine to check for that
