    This sounds like a nerve problem by the sounds of it its your sciatic nerve that runs from your spine all down into your leg

    If you look up sciatica you may find that your symptoms are very similar the websites thaat say

    Sciatica is felt in the spine and uper bum lies

    Sciatica is where your sciatic nerve is trapped and the lower downn your leg that the pain is the more pressure there is in that nerve.

    You may find that worse case you have a disc problem in your back that is caussing the issue

      About my back pain. I go to lay down on my back, flat, the mid of my back and space it and the lower part of my back bone comes and meets together. Like the opposite , the top of bone of back comes down as the lower part of my back bone goes up and meets the part bending downwards.

      Then yes I would say that you may have a disc problem

      I have something called Degenerative disc disorder (caused by my hyper mobility)

      In a short explanation my discs are being crushed and are thining because of the pressure I currently have this in L2 L3 L4 L5 and S1

      I get sciatica alot due to this and I cant walk its that painfull and it stays that way untill the nerve becomes untrapped now doctors fill you full of pain meds that kindly put dont do anything ibuprofen does nothing becuse its not inflamed Although if your disc is inflamed they may give you this to heelp relieve the disc but I go to a chiropractor every month to have like a bit of a m.o.t on my back and they can tell which disc or discs are trapping your nerve and its alot quicker than waiting for it to go on its own I wwas very sceptical about chiropractors but I can whole heartedly say its the best pain relief I have ever experienced
