Extreme lower back pain
I am having severe lower back pain just above my tail bone. It is a dull throbbing pain that also causes shooting pain down my leg. The pain does not radiate towards my abdomen, i have no pain with urination or inconstinance. The pain has been constant for a week now. I have tried rotating ibuprofen max strength and tylenol, i have also tried heating pads and ice packs, stretching and hot baths.. and nothing is working. Please help.
