Aches and pains - no reason

I really don't know what's causing this ache that I am getting down my left leg. I keep moving it so it has nothing to do with staying in the same position for too long. It seems that whatever I do, I am in incredible pain for no explainable reason. I don't get the pains anywhere else. Anyone got any ideas?

If the pain is too much maybe go to the doctor, or call the NHS direct number, they should be able to advise.

it may be sciatica... compression of the sciatic nerve... but who knows... could be anything...

no, don't call NHS direct... it would be a waste of time... all they are going to say is take a painkiller and see a GP...

I always thought NHS direct have been quite helpful! More so than my actual surgery.
