Dear Sir, thanks for the response. The pain is definitely over the hip with no pain directly on the back, unless I lay down or have sat for prolonged periods. I get pain in the front of the leg and often the pain is a warm feeling in the front of my lower abdomen. The pain can be up to a 10/10 and appears randomly. The pain often makes me bend forward due to the severity of it. If the L3 is pressed I am extreme agony and gives a feeling of taking my breath away. Neurofin, pain killers or physio has not relieved pain.
