Part 32. Associated Pain
Q
A
Dr. Billy R. Flowers
: Is my leg pain related to
my recent back injury?
: Sharp pain radiating from
you back down one leg can be a
result of a pinched nerve in the spine.
Herniated discs and bone spurs are
two of the most pinched nerve in the
spine. Disc in the spine function like
shock absorbers; and they can be-
come damaged from an injury or nor-
mal use.
Your leg pain is likely related to a
problem in your lumbar spine, although
it is hard to pinpoint exactly what trig-
gered your pain. You might have had a
pre-existing condition made worse by
a recent injury. The good news is this
type of pain often resolves on its
own or with chiropractic treatment.
If the pain lasts longer than a few
weeks, or if you have noticeable
weakness in your leg or foot, talk to
a doctor about getting an MRI.
