I've had tendonitis in my left knee for about 3 years. Recently I hurt my lower back and went to the doctor for both problems. I've been to therapists and taken lots of medicine, but nothing has worked. Now I'm experiencing severe pain in my left hip, knee, and calf muscle. Sometimes my entire lower left leg goes numb. I don't want to go back to the doctor because they have only wasted my time and money. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be the problem with my leg and what I can do about it? Thanks.

It sounds like sciatica from your back problem and usually means something is putting pressure on your spine, don't mess with this, go to the Dr. when the pain radiates down the leg your really going to have to find out where the disc is out. You can try the McKenzie exercises look on the May Clinic website under back pain and Mckenzie exercises they really help.

Possibly try a chiropractor or a massage therapist. I have had a shooting pain in my leg for a good 2 years and I have been going to the chiroprator for 3 weeks now and I feel great. Not quite 100% but better then I have felt in 2 years.

Drs. wasted your time and money, but not all of them. Going to doctors that you're not happy with doesn't mean that none of them will make you happy. You're still putting in time and money to go to the physical therapist. You might want to find aa good orthopediate surgeon and make an appointment for the doctor to see you. Take care of your leg and your hip, so they can take care of you.
