What it could be when your back pain goes to your legs?
I have that. My problem is compression of the Lumbar vertebrae (L-4 and L-5 )compressing the nerves. It is called Spinal Stenosis. Google it and see if it fits
What are the symptoms of lumbar stenosis?
Lumbar Steosis narrows the bone of the spine, effectively making it more vulnerable and weaker. As the spine narrows the nerves and muscles will face a stronger pressure which could cause pain over time.

Which vertebrae could be the cause of your aching back?
Most likely it is your lumbar vertebra.
How is spinal stenosis treated?
There are two types of spinal stenosis, that of the lower back and cervical spinal stenosis. Lower back spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal in the lumbar area. Cervical spinal stenosis is a narrowing in the spinal canal of the neck.
Is the cervical spine inferior to the lumbar spine?
No.The cervical spine is in the neck and is above the lumbar spine, which is in the low back. Because we reference things from anatomical position, which is standing upright, and because the term "inferior" is used to denote things that are below, that statement would be incorrect. Therefore, we could correctly say the cervical spine is superior, or rostral, to the lumbar spine. We could also say that the lumbar spine is inferior, or caudal, to the cervical spine.
What does it mean if your lumbar MRI results show negative?
