Have Back, Hip And Leg Pain. Hard To Walk. Reason?
Hi. I have been having back problems now going on for the past two years. My back has been bad since November. I am doing physio with traction. I get a lot of pain now in my lower leg especially at night which keep me awake. Along with that I get pain on my right side in the hip area when I roll over and find it hard to walk when I get out of bed. What could be causing all this pain?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Since the pain is radiating to the leg , it s likely to be due to a disc herniation at the level of spine which is causing a compression of the nerve roots. It is best to get an MRI scan done for a proper diagnosis and further treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
