Pain in right leg
I have pain which runs from my lower back to right leg. I could feel my leg going numb and I feel difficulty in standing. It started about a week ago. I could feel pain at a point on my right hip and it feels to be the starting point of the pain.

The symptom which you have described is called sciatica and is an early sign of slip disc
If the numbness is increasing on standing and walking it is an urgent matter and I would suggest to have yourself checked up with a local Orthopaedic doctor as soon as possible remember 90% patients can become alright even if you have a slip disc without surgery if detected early and taken treatment early so I wish you all the best for your recovery
