I vividly remember himustying my back I was on an aeroplane with seat belt on with baby asleep on my lap. I was sitting on aisle seat and a passenger always trying get something out of over head locker but she dropped it so I twisted very fast to stop it falling on my son. That was on 3rd December I had back pain since lower with pain going down back left leg.. it has progressively got a lot worse especially the last few weeks I can not sit down stand without screaming! Struggling stand up straight my left leg feels heavy and numb! I have four children I've been taking neurofen and Coedine but not touching it! I've never suffered from back pain but when do u bother Gp. I've tried pain killers heat and cold packs exercise which can no longer tolerate! What's the next step

    Back pain going down the leg is usually sciatica. Google the home treatments for that as I can't postlinks on this forum.
