Massage helps temporarily. What else can I do. I can tell exactly where it starts - it sends a dull pain down my lower back, butt, upper leg and knee. Very uncomfortable!

Chiropractor!!! Actually it could be your sciatic nerve.(very painful) You simply need to be adjusted to release the pressure off of the nerve. I know this will help...

It may be that you have one leg longer than the other--like the vast majority of us. If this is the case, a slight lift in the shoe of the shorter leg will solve the problem. This worked perfectly well for me. (The lift cost $10 and was overpriced. It was sold to me by a chiropractor after I had already paid $2300+ for a year's worth of adjustments that lasted, at best, a couple of days.)
On the alternative you can realign your spine somewhat if you lie on a flat surface, draw your legs up over your abdomen and chest (knees bent so legs are folded), and grasp your arms over your legs. You are now roughly the shape of a jelly bean. Tuck your chin and rock along the length of your back.
Something else that can help: have good posture. Suck in your gut when you are sitting or standing. This changes where your center of gravity is, and it decreases the stress on your spine, including your low back. If you have a belly or you are overweight, you need to remedy those problems (at least start on it) in order to relieve your pain.
If these solutions do not help, you need to see a physician. Prolonged pain due to a neurological problem (which would include a pinched nerve) can cause muscles to atrophy over time (get smaller and less useful), plus chronic pain makes for poor quality of life.
If the physician suggests medication or surgery, I would consult a chiropractor before I let someone cut on me. However, don't sign any agreements for a year's worth of treatments, no matter how great the deal. You will not keep all those appointments, you will have paid for them anyway, and it will wind up costing you more overall.
Good luck with the back.

Unfortunately - I have the same thing in my left leg. It's gotten progressively better in the last several years wher eit's only effecting my left foot/toes, but it will never go away. Once it is pinched you can have things like chiropractic work and massages done and it will help lessen the irritation - but a pinched nerve doesn't "un" pinch.
I hope you get to feeling better soon!

If you intend to learn about the true nature of sciatica or why sciatica is so frequent and what all these pains are trying to tell to your body then you need to see this eBook Sciatica SOS from here https://tr.im/Wj4ul .
Glenn Johnson is the author of Sciatica SOS. He too was plagued by the condition for really quite a long time in his early 40s. He claims he was one of the “Early worms to be identified as having sciatica”, and he tried out a number of probable solutions that the health practitioners provided, however they never gave him adequate results.
The eBook Sciatica SOS is special; it moves the extra distance to assist you realize the reason for the situation, what you can do to solve it and then gives step by step instructions to help you achieve the treatment.
All this can be achieved in a week or less. It is unquestionably worth a try.

Hello,
It is a fact that no one condition reflects sciatica and it would be prudent to refer to it as a generic medical term encompassing lots of symptoms that taken together describe a lower back pain that a patient suffers from. When someone complains of severe back pain that passes down to legs through his buttocks, even down to his feet and toes, doctors suspect him to be suffering from sciatica. Often sciatica presents itself as numbness or a tingling sensation that may not be anything like the severe pain commonly associated with sciatica. This tingling or numbness may be felt by the person when he engages in some activities.
On this site you can find very good tips on how to treat your sciatica: http://curesciatica.toptips.org
Cheers.

Sounds to me like a siatic nerve. Its like a pinched nerve and it send pains throughout your back, down your leg.
Definitely see your doctor! You may need surgery.
