It may be due weakness of muscles or nerves causing difficulty in blood flow to your back radiating to your legs. Or it may be due to slip disc of back at lumbar reagion resulting in sciatic nerve compression causing radiating pain & numbness to lower back & legs. If your doctor did'nt reffered you for physiotherapy compaint him for misguiding you and not suggesting you the right treatment. As physiotherapy is the only treatment to save you from back surgery. You should go for physiotherapy treatment for it to reduce pain and to improve muscle power of back.
