I had that when I was 25... It was sciatica... very painful!!!! It was horrible pain when I first got in an upright position, and it burned and hurt so much until my body got used to standing up!!!! So bad that I qualified it as being worse than childbirth, which up until that point, nothing was!!!! a chiropractor can help with that... best thing is that you have time on your side because you are young... it's probably a pinched nerve in your lower spine... very correctable with a chiropractor. Good luck!!!

I have a pinched nerve & I have seen both a medical doctor and a chiropractor; the chiropractor gave me useful exercises that helped to open things up & reduce the pain - the doctor just gave me pain meds. The pain meds helped in times of severe pain, but they didn't really help the problem.
However, I'm going to a neurologist tomorrow - we'll see how that works out.
I would suggest a chiropractor, though. As I stated, mine gave me some exercises to do that helped me eliminate a lot of pain that I was in.

I have a same problem. I just came back from doctor today. she told me i have inflamation in my hip joint and it causing the pain in leg. I am taking naprozen pain killer for it. Hope it works otherwise i will need a shot of crotizone in my hip joint.
Basically the pain start cuz fluid between the bones decrease.
Did you recently fell or have baby? It usally happens becuase of long pressure on your pelvic area.
I hope it helps. Go to doctor and have yourself checked.

you need a chiropractor. You have a pinched nerve in your back. A medical doctor isn't going to fix this for you, all they can do is give you pills that won't fix it, and will barely mask the pain.

You should see a neurologist. This sounds like sciatica. There are many causes and many treatments for this condition.

You may want to consult with your family Chiropractor. This is his/her specialty.
Best wishes and good luck.
