You might like to ask your GP as you may require a referral to an orthopaedic specialist as pain running from your spine into your legs needs investigation. Perhaps ask if your surgery has an MSK doctor who is part of their team?… (muscular skeletal )

Hello

I have has similar, especially with the pain down my legs. My GP sent me for an MRU scan which revealed a prolapsed lumbar disc in my spine.

See your GP ASAP to check this out. It has improved over time and without surgery. but it should not be ignored.

Good luck

Could it be Sciatica ? just a thought as I get that down right leg but an Osteopath usually sorts it out plus I do the exercises. But you should see a GP asap.x
