I have a lower back pain. sciatica?

Question

Hey I have a back pain and when I straighten my leg it hurts my lower back therefore it hurts when I walk. x-rays says nothing is wrong, I'm doing an MRI tomorrow. Doctor says it prob is the sciatica but doesn't the sciatica hurt from your back to your leg and foot?? Only my back hurts and it has been hurting for a couple of months now. I think if it was the sciatica it would have been hurting already. Any comments.... thanks!!!

Answer 1

I have a prolapse disc but never had sciatica! What I had was acute onset lower right and left abdominal pain, which they thought was anything from kidney stones to STD! We are all different so the MRI is just to see if you have any disc problems and if the MRI is normal they can rule stuff in or rule stuff out. Best of Luck
