Leg and back pain...help?

Question

a while back i hurt my back, I'm not sure whether it was from lifting something or over doing the sit ups. Anyway, since then i can sit on soft surfaces or bend down without bending my legs without my lower back hurting bad. Also whenever i am seated my right leg (only) feels cold and almost like there's not blood circulation and it hurts. can anyone tell me about what is wrong with either issue or both?

Answer 1

This could be as a result of a pinched or entrapped nerve, or even a problem with one of the disks in your back when you hurt your back (all examples only).

The only way to know for sure is to see your doctor for further evaluation of the situation to see what they say.
