Please explain to me how it is possible to have hip pain from pressure on a nerve in the low back. I had a nerve block at L5 and it completely took away my hip and lower leg pain. 16 weeks 3 days ago 137
Please please help me! I have severe leg pain along the outside of my lower leg. No one can seem to figure out what is causing it. I'm told it could be the lumbar spine, sciatic nerve, hip, or knee. They've looked for tumors, fractures, infection, stenosis, and arthritis. For sure I have both lumbar stenosis and hip arthritis but which one is causing the pain? Both? Neither? I'm a wreck trying to figure this out and get help for this! 16 weeks 3 days ago 160

Then what? 16 weeks 3 days ago 108
