“Why does my leg hurt so much?”
I'm 54 male and started experiencing back pain 2 months ago. It eventually spread out to my left leg that sometimes goes numb. Why does this happen? Should I seek help?

Sounds a lot like you might have a nerve from the lower back that is pinched or inflamed. Chances are good your doctor would do an exam and start with a plain X-ray and some physical therapy. As a general rule, I suggest getting checked when musculoskeletal symptoms persist or start getting worse. Sounds like you are at that point.
