Hello...I come through your question...back ache andoctor.numbness in the one leg..
Let me explain to you..
Back bone has spinall cord in it and these bone has transits for the nerves which supply the lower half of the body..
If there is something compressing on these nerves then it produce pain and often this pain may radiate to legs and also you feel the numbness..
I will advise to do a CT scan of lumber spine and then consult a neurosurgeon.
