What Does Pain In The Lower Back And Right Leg Indicate?
I am a 50 yr old female. Usually very active and healthy. Within a 2wk period pain in my low back, spine area began. It is now unbearable. Pain shoots down my right leg, knee, top of foot and ankle. I cannot find any position that gives any relief. I feel like water swelling around the spinal direct area. My lymph nodes at my same side groin are swollen and knotted.. What could this be?

Hello,
These symptoms are more indicative of an intervertebral disc prolapse compressing a nerve. In my opinion, an evaluation with an MRI will be appropriate.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
