question: Hi .  I have back pain.  I injured my lumbar sacral joint when I was 18.  I am now 74.  I now have pain which radiates down my left buttock and down my leg.  I also have pain in my right groin which is always there.  I had a fall some 10 years ago and I believe my lower discs fractured and have now fused.  I believe I have sciatica.  I am hoping that the pain in my groin is associated with this and not a hip problem.
