For the last few days I have been having some lower back/hip discomfort along with my legs aching and feeling like they are going numb (right leg) and in the front upper part of my leg it was like my skin hurt.

This morning I woke up and it felt better until about 20 minutes into getting ready for work, my legs (both) started aching real bad and the middle of my lower back hurt so bad I could barely bend over. Now my lower back and both legs are achy constantly. The advil I took hasn't done much for the pain. I have been walking lately. Any suggestions, I have to health insurance but think I should probably go the the chiropractor?

" When sitting and go to relax it hurts the worst. I guess leaning forward is causing the most pain! "

" I am not a Doctor, but that sounds like nerve impingement issues. Do not go see a Chiro, go see a PCP and if he thinks that is nerves, he will recommend you a Neurologist or an Ortho Doctor that specializes in spines. "

" maybe a disc is injured.

I had a bulding disc that caused numbness in my foot and then made hip and sharp knee pain. An MRI can help figure out what is wrong.

good luck! "
