Answer 1

Take your mobile phone out of our back pocket. (Seriously!)

Answer 2

Ehm..
Though sciatica is a common problem, it is really surprising that often it is hard to tell why a person suffers from this ailment. This is why it is often referred to as a back pain complex. Even experienced doctors find it difficult to pinpoint a cause. Number of medical conditions lead to sciatica such as stress and trauma at any point on spinal cord or lower back. This is understandable but when a person feels this pain and the underlying causes are as general as obesity or pregnancy, it presents a vague picture to the doctor. There can be many more underlying causes that require supervision and treatment at the right time.

I'ts not your hip or your knee it's pain from a disc in your back, I had the same thing and for years the Dr I was seeing thought I was a hypocondriac, then quite by accident I saw a different Dr. how too one look at me and sure enough it was from my lower back and the pain running through my hip and knee was sciatica. Go see your doctor and ask to be referred to a back specialist. In the meantime look up McKenzie Exercises on the web the Mayo site is the best and do some of these exercises to ge relief from the pain and take ibuprofen or aspirin to ease the inflamation, Good luck and all the best to you.

Answer 4

Sounds like IT (iliotibial) Band syndrome, commonly caused by tightness in the IT band, which is the ligament running on the outside of your knee. Stretching is a good start. After warming up, work on stretching the whole leg (hamstring, quads, calves, glutes), hips, and lower back. I'd also recommend a deep tissue massage, followed up by an epsom salt bath. If the problem is more serious, see a chiropractor or physical therapist.

Answer 5

Could be arthritis in your Hip! it will affect other areas too. Best solution is a visit to the doc's to get pain killers or seek out some physio for yourself

Answer 6

Sciatica, as has already been said. You would probably want to take Aleve, or possibly Ibuprofen as an OTC pain reliever, because those two (Aleve moreso than Ibuprofen) tend to reduce inflammation more than Acetaminophen or aspirin.

Answer 7

Could be a back related problem and won't go away on it's own I don't suppose, so I strongly suggest you see your doctor without too much delay and ask to be referred to a suitable specialist. Hope you feel better soon.
