Inadequate flow of blood due to lack of exercise, associated with high blood pressure and high cholesterol and sugar in the body.
Could be a protruded disc pushing on ther nerve. Get checked as soon as possible. Meanwhile, for relief, lay on the floor with your legs (from the knees down) up on the seat of a chair, knees bent, back flat. Ice packs alternated with heat, about 20 minutes each. Please see a doctor to make sure it's not something serious.
