Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Back And Ankle Pain

I am having pains in my the lower left side of my back, the left side of my groin and down my thigh all the way to my ankle. It is a constant dull aching pain that sometimes has very sharp shooting pains. I went to see a doctor thinking it was a kidney infection. Urine test came back fine. They did blood work which showed I have the h. pylori antibody. They began me on a month long treatment for that. I do not understand how these are connected and why I am still in so much pain. No otc pain reliever comes close to easing my pain. Should I see another doctor for a second opinion. I need relief!
