Pain in the back and leg can originate
from the muscles, nerves or an abdominal
organ. Muscle pain on the back and leg can
also be due to injury, overwork, prolonged
cold exposure, spinal static disorders
etc.
Nerve pain is caused when something
creates pressure on the roots of the
spinal nerves. That something is usually a
spine disorder (spondilosis, static
disorder…). Spondilosis is not typical
for your daughter’s age but static
disorders (scoliosis, kifosis, lordosis)
are. Other intra-abdominal disorders like
kidney stones can also cause back pain
that can propagate to the inner leg.
Your daughter can be examined by a GP. She
may also need an abdominal ultrasound and
X-ray image of the spine. You can also
consult an internist if necessary.
