Lower Back pain what to do?

Question:

im a water boy at a pipe making factory and pick up buckets that are 3/4 full. i think theyre 5 gallon buckets. anyway after lifting and standing up straight pouring the resin in the machine i felt like my lower spine going into my pelvis bone. i put the bucket down and started walking and my left leg started making me limp. went to a doctor and told him it happened 4 times within 6 hours. put me on hyodrocodone,catisoprodol, and some type of antibiotics. my back muscles are just fine. its my lower mid back where the pain is. what could it be?

Answers:
It sounds like it could be Sciatica!

In sciatica, there is a pain down into the leg, which travels below the knee, and may involve the foot. There may be numbness and there may be weakness of the lower leg muscles.

These symptoms may come on their own, but are often combined with low back pain. The order in which the symptoms appear may vary. Sometimes the back pain comes before the sciatica, and sometimes will follow.

I would aways reccomend people with back problems to go to their local chriopractor.
