any suggestions ?
I have ongoing pain in my groin area right side which travels down my leg and and goes sometimes as far as my ankle also the pain can be located in my lower buttock area on the same side. Sometimes it is just a quick sharp pain which happens when i twist a certain way others it can be more intense and goes on longer. It is the same with my neck on the right side with a sharp shooting pain going up my neck whith sudden movement or down towards the elbow, this is cheesing me off since i like to do work out exercises with weights and aerobics so find it debilitating. Also certain ways i move my lower back snaps like a match stick breaking help what do i do just give up exercises and get fat

Thank you for your comment, of which i have now made an appointment with my doctor this thursday to hope get sorted out. This problem as been on going now for a couple of years, and at the time i first went i could not raise my leg at all and the pain was immense. My doctor wanted me to have a scan at the time but the nurology team suggested physio at first, which i went to for over a year on and off but still getting the problems also they tried accupunture which i found of no benefit. It has got to the stage now that as i said before in my other letter that my back is making a snapping noise like a match, I have quick sudden shooting pains in my leg and some times in my neck which either goes to the ankle or elbow. I often take nurofen to help me sleep at night as i find my hip and legs will wake me up with an intense throbbing,and it sounds strange but my legs feel as though they have a cold metal in them a weird sensation. Also i find when i have my bowels open my spine makes a funny sort of clunking sound god im falling apart. Thank you again

In slipped disc or disc prolapse conditions, symptoms may originate due to nerve root pressure, pressure on the spinal cord and pressure on the tail bone. Common symptoms could be paralysis of muscles, pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness radiating to the legs. Warning symptoms can include loss of control of the bladder function, paralysis & spasticity of both the legs. If you are suffering continuous weakness and notice reduced strength of muscle bulk in leg, please arrange an appointment with a neurologist right away.
