What Causes Sharp Pain From Right Of The Back To The Leg?

Yesterday I started having a sharp pain on the right side. I can t determine if the pain is more in the back area or just the side, when I have it the pain continues on down the right upper part of my right leg. It comes and goes. But at times I have to lay down for the pain to get better. I was planning on seeing my chiropractor tomorrow thinking it is back pain, but not for sure.
