Hi
I haven't been on here for a while - trying hard to keep everything stable and logical but I feel I am slipping again!
Since the Summer, I have been having twinges every now and then in my lower back and groin in my left leg. However, in the last 3 weeks, this pain has become increasingly worse. My left leg aches most of the time, like a cramp, mostly down the back of my thigh to my knee but also down the side and in my groin. My knee and hip ache too. Over the last few years, I have had on and off trouble with my lower back. Sometimes, it is so bad at night that it wakes me when I turn over. Although I have had several attacks like this before (and they can last up to a couple of months), I am panicing that it may be a tumor or something!!
My leg hurts more when sitting or laying on that side and the pain is often relieved by standing up although walking a lot can aggrevate it too. I have also been decorating for the last month so that probably hasn't helped!! I have tried heat pads and neurofen. Any advice?
