What Is The Reason For Back Pain And Leg Burning?
I woke up and the lower right side of my back hurts so bad it took me 30 minutes to edge myself out of bed. My left leg burns like a nerve is being pinched and I half to walk in a squatting position using things around me to hold myself up. What s wrong and how can I fix it?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms that you are having are likely to be due to a nerve root compression at the level of lower spine. You need to get an MRI scan of the area done and consult a neurophysician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
