I woke up one morning with a severe lower back ache after about a week the pain was just one the left side and then it switched to pain in just the right side. Now the pain has moved into my right hip. My back doesn't even hurt anymore, just my hip. If I am sitting or laying it doesn't really hurt. When I walk I have to take small steps because if I extend my leg to far the sharp pain comes back and crossing my legs also causes the sharp pain. Any ideas on what could cause this? And/or how long to wait to see if the pain will subside before seeing a doctor? thanks for any help.

Too much hard work? Siatic nerve? If it shoots down the leg,its siatic nerve.
