I am not much of a medicine person to treat pain, only if the pain gets bad.

I had a MRI and going in for the results Monday.

The pain starts in my back, to my right hip, then down my right leg.

Cheers!
Recently, I had the shooting pains down my back and both legs. I am rather old and woke up one day with my body shaking. The next day I could barely reach down to put on my shoes. Then next day a little more capability to move. I read that it often goes on for around one month and then can get better without doing anything. I thought I would have to give up sports and sell my personal equipment.
Fortunately, after about 2 and 1/2 weeks it went away by itself. And fortunately, it has not returned. Strange, I have not had any other MAJOR back problems since high school.
