Severe Pain In Lower Back, Left Thigh While Standing, Difficulty Sleeping. No Help From Mobic, Panadol Osteo. Help
hi I am currently suffering severe pain in my lower back on the left & all down my left thigh which is really painful especially when standing. Cannot sleep at night as cannot find comfy position without pain. Taking mobic twice a day and panadol osteo in between but doesn't seem to help much especially at night. Trying heat to give me some relief.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having sciatica pain giving rise to this problem.
Go for x-ray lumbo-sacral region as there is likely of having osteo-artheritis of lower lumbar vertebrae giving rise to irritation or pressure on nerves.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Physiotherapy will give more relief.
do back extension exercise.
Ok and take care.
