What Causes Radiating Pain From Lower Back To Feet With History Of Back Surgery?
Feeling discomfort in hips, lower back down through legs, ankles and feet. Had back surgery in Dec. 2014 L3,4 &5 but this is not the same discomfort. Also, feels like something is constantly in my left ear almost as if a hair or feather is in my ear.

Hello there,
You are most likely sufering from a condition called as siatica which is because of compression of a nerve called as the siatic nerve. This compression leads to pain from the buttocks all the way down to the feet. You will definitely benefit from a vist to a physiotherapist to help relieve the pain. However an orthopedic evaluation first would be most beneficial.
Hope this has helped you. Take care.
