This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold.

If the pain originated in the back and is continuous to the leg, could be nerve related. However a joint or muscle could also bring on such pain.
So as suggested earlier the exact cause could be acertained by a detailed examination.
If your pain originated on the foot or leg and you have some referral, which is rare till the back... again a detailed assessment is required.
Muscular pain could hang on through the night.
** But other factors such as decreased sensation below the back, history of bladder and bowel issues, weakness of legs all have to assessed, weight loss.... have to be assessed!!!!
Next Steps
See a physiotherapist....
try some of the exercises mentioned by Dr Suryamani
