Back pain with symptoms in the legs - what is it
What is back pain with symptoms in the legs?
Back pain with symptoms in the legs often means that your back pain is also associated with pain, abnormal sensations, numbness or weakness in your legs or feet. This may indicate a pinched or pressed nerve in the lumbar spine. Back pain can come from several different structures in the lower back, including the bones or joints of the lumbar spine, discs, muscles or nerves. The pain may be caused by conditions including, but not limited to, lumbar sciatica, lumbar radiculopathy, and lumbar spinal stenosis.

What Not to Do?
Back pain can involve the lower back, buttocks, and sometimes can also involve the legs and feet. When the pain is acute, it is best to avoid activities that worsen the back pain and leg symptoms. This may include heavy lifting, running or vigorous sports, and prolonged sitting or standing.
In rare cases, back pain may be a sign of a serious medical problem. Seek immediate care if your back pain is associated with new bowel or bladder symptoms (such as difficulty moving or controlling bowel movements), or after a fall or injury. See your doctor if you have back pain that is worse at night, is associated with leg pain, weakness, numbness, unexplained weight loss, fever, or abdominal pain.

What Can You Do?
We recommend that you see a doctor if you have back pain with leg symptoms. Over-the-counter pain relievers, patches, heat, and cold packs may help relieve pain. Bed rest is generally not recommended in most cases.
Become aware of positions, positions, and activities that make your pain worse and avoid them. Light activity such as walking and daily activities are usually fine.

How Can We Help You?
Your doctor will perform a thorough medical history and physical examination. Your doctor may also order an X-ray or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of your lumbar spine. Sometimes an electrodiagnostic test called an electromyography/nerve conduction study is done to determine which nerve root is affected or if there is another cause for the leg symptoms.
Physical therapy and an appropriate home exercise program are an important part of treating back pain. A physical therapist may offer treatments such as muscle relaxation, ultrasound, heat, or electrical stimulation of the back muscles and soft tissue to help relieve pain. As your pain subsides, your therapist will teach you specific exercises that will stabilize your back and core and improve your posture.

The above exercises can help prevent future back pain. Your doctor may also prescribe pain medications for temporary use if over-the-counter medications do not help.
If conventional treatments do not relieve your pain, your doctor may recommend an X-ray-guided injection of cortisone, an anti-inflammatory drug, into the space around a spinal nerve. The corticosteroid injection helps reduce inflammation around the nerve roots, and the pain relief may last for several months. If you have persistent back pain associated with severe leg symptoms, progressive muscle weakness, or other neurological signs, you should see an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation.
