I have been using my back alot lately lifting a client, lower back pain and pain down my left leg. I have had back surgery before in 1990. Herniated disk removed L4-5. I know to use ice and exercised when my back bothers me. This pain in my leg is new. Hurts when I stand. Is this a pinched nerve?

I will advise you to do MRI spinor these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back.
