❓ Does your lower back pain travel into your buttock or down your leg?
Pain that travels from the lower back into the buttock, thigh or further down the leg may suggest that more than one area is involved.
It can sometimes be linked to irritation of structures in the lower back, changes in the way the spine or hips are moving, muscle tension or sensitivity around the nerves.
📍 You may notice:
• pain spreading into the buttock or leg
• tingling or numbness
• discomfort when sitting, bending or walking
• symptoms that come and go depending on your position
• pain that feels different from ordinary muscle soreness
Not every pain travelling down the leg is the same, which is why a proper assessment can be helpful.
A physiotherapy consultation can look at your lower back, hips, movement, strength and other factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
⚠️ Seek urgent medical advice if you develop significant weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin area or rapidly worsening symptoms.
