[Kindersley]

Only right leg !! I get towards mid afternoon a strong aching pain like numbness from right hip/ass down to thigh and sometimes down to foot.

47 years old and ok fit etc. No family history of stuff like this..


Of to Docs on friday to try and get a referral to see a specialist

Today was hard work and i wanted to scream

Google "sciatica". Sounds like it but I may be wrong.

Maybe a prolapsed disc that is causing the numbness and pain, not nice if it is.

Try Voltarol which is Diclofenic based, you can buy this over the counter and might help you out until you see the quack.

simon.. I have had many a back issue for years . I mentioned what you said to a few nurses today and they also agree it could be a spine issue

thanks...
Instead of been stupid , i will be going to doc's ASAP

Hope all goes well

I speak from experience on the disc issue, your symptoms sound similar to my own a few years back (no pun intended)

keep us posted
