Lower back ache and numbness in left leg
Hi , few days back i was doing something and suddenly felt a pain in my lower back like a nerve has stretched or something. After that the pain continued for the whole day and next day it got worst and my left leg also started to pain and i wasn't able to sit or stand without help. From last two days i am able to sit or stand myself but my left leg goes numb and it feels so heavy that i am not able to walk properly. Along with this if i stand for more than 5 minutes my left leg knee just can't take my weight for more than 5 minutes and also swelled up a bit . Please guide with what is the possible cause and treatment for this. I am taking gabapin
