Lower Right Back Pain, Palpation Of Hard Ball In The Lower Right Back, Sciatica, Pain On Holding The Leg Straight
My lower right back is in pain. When I lay down and let the muscles relax, I can palpate a very hard ball deep in my low right back. I also have symptoms of sciatica like when i try to hold my right leg out straight it is painful and difficult. I have had this problem for over 5 years and the pain fluctuates between mild and excruciating?

Hello,
1. Your complaints need to be investigated with MRI Scan of LS Spine, and screening of that lump (ball), also X-ray of that area.
2. The possible causes are disc disease, and or nerve compression at LS Spine.
3. After MRI, you may require tablets, physiotherapy or Surgery.
