Leg pain

Yesterday I have began to experience some discomfort in my leg as I started for a walk in the morning. Gradually I could feel the pain even in the back. I have tried for applying ice pack but it didn't help. The pain has just worsen and am not able to get up without any support due to which my daily activity has been affected. I don't know what it might be but as I have said facing difficulty in standing, sitting and even to lie down. Has anyone else experienced the same?

Yup, I can know sitting will worsen the lower back pain but the pain is so severe that it make me constant at one place if someone gives a support to move then I am able to move. I will be definitely seeking for an medical attention.

What you're experiencing is an acute low back pain. We need to do a detailed clinical evaluation to arrive at a diagnosis, including history taking, x-ray/MRI etc. Possible causes may include muscular strain, disk herniation, lumbar radiculopathy and other possible conditions.

In the meantime, you need bed rest for a few days until the pain subsided. Avoid prolonged sitting since this will increase the pressure in your lower back.  After 2-3 days, try warm compress. Avoids any movements that will increase the pain.

I hope this helps! Take care!
