Answer 1

You should see DR it may be your sciatic nerve.

Answer 2

You could have Sciatica. Here is an overview...


Overview of sciatica causes and symptoms
Sciatica—pain along the large sciatic nerve that runs from the lower back down the back of each leg—is a relatively common form of low back pain and leg pain. This pain along the sciatic nerve can be caused when a root that helps form the sciatic nerve is pinched or irritated.

Sciatica is usually caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve from a herniated disc (also referred to as a ruptured disc, pinched nerve, slipped disk, etc.). The problem is often diagnosed as a "radiculopathy", meaning that a disc has protruded from its normal position in the vertebral column and is putting pressure on the radicular nerve (nerve root) in the lower back, which forms part of the sciatic nerve.

Sciatica occurs most frequently in people between 30 and 50 years of age. Often a particular event or injury does not cause sciatica, but rather it may develop as a result of general wear and tear on the structures of the lower spine. The vast majority of people who experience sciatica get better with time (usually a few weeks or months) and find pain relief with non-surgical treatments.

Understanding sciatica pain
For some people, the pain from sciatica can be severe and debilitating. For others, the pain from sciatica might be infrequent and irritating, but has the potential to get worse. Usually, sciatica only affects one side of the lower body, and the pain often radiates from the lower back all the way through the back of the thigh and down through the leg. Depending on where the sciatic nerve is affected, the pain may also radiate to the foot or toes.

One or more of the following sensations may occur as a result of sciatica:

Pain in the rear or leg that is worse when sitting

Burning or tingling down the leg

Weakness, numbness or difficulty moving the leg or foot

A constant pain on one side of the rear

A shooting pain that makes it difficult to stand up

Low back pain may be present along with the leg pain, but usually the low back pain is less severe than the leg pain

While sciatica can be very painful, it is rare that permanent nerve damage (tissue damage) will result. Most sciatica pain syndromes result from inflammation and will get better within two weeks to a few months. Also, because the spinal cord is not present in the lower (lumbar) spine, a herniated disc in this area of the anatomy does not present a danger of paralysis.

Symptoms that may constitute a medical emergency include progressive weakness in the leg or bladder/bowel incontinence. Patients with these symptoms may have cauda equina syndrome and should seek immediate medical attention.

Any condition that causes irritation or impingement on the sciatic nerve can cause the pain associated with sciatica. The most common cause is a lumbar herniated disc. Other common causes of sciatica include lumbar spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or isthmic spondylolisthesis.

Answer 3

We can't tell you for sure what is happening. It would be very unethical to diagnose you on such little information. Your doctor could examine you better and make a diagnosis. I think you would feel sciatica more than just when getting up. I had sciatica and felt it down to my toes, and it started in my lower back and not my hip. However, we can't say definitely that it's not. I'm not sure if your pain is at the side of your hip or the back. It sounds to me like maybe you pulled a muscle actually, maybe a hamstring. But again, I don't know for sure without examining you. Best to see your doctor.

Answer 4

Dont rule out a blood clot,

Swelling
Gradual onset of pain
Redness
Warm to touch
Worsening leg pain when bending the foot
Leg cramps, especially at night
Bluish or whitish discoloration of skin


If it hurts like you mentioned, and have any above symptoms, better see a doctor asap.

Answer 5

I've had degenerated disc for a long time. Your symptom sounds similar to mine at earlier stage. I didn't go to see my doctor and all the sudden, I couldn't stand up anymore. The disc and my back bone was pinching a sciatic nerve.

My auntie had the same kind of pain and her doctor diagnosed bone cancer.

I would see my doctor if I were you. And if it was your back, I recommend acupuncture. My biggest mistake was to have had a back surgery :-)

Answer 6

you probably have damage done to your nerves on your spinal cord like a herniated disc meaning it would do that pain shooting from certain location on your body my hip hurts and back occasionally also whenever I squat too! Have a docter check that out for you

Answer 7

sounds like u threw it out of place,, or strained ur back too much.. have u done ne heavy liftin lately?? like pickin sumthin big up off the floor??
