what sort of pain angel? If its a shooting pain that starts at the bottom of the back or buttock area and shoots down the legs it sounds like sciatica (don't kknow if I spelt that right). Basically trapped nerves due to pressure on the spine and very very common.

Its not a shooting pain, its more like a cramping, ache pain.its strange because my legs feel like lead weights and i find it hard to walk .thanks for your reply.

If the pain goes from lower back, down bum cheeks, down the back of the legs almost in a sraight line, chances are it is sciatica.
