Starts off as tingling usually in a limb then pain
Common symptoms of a pinched nerve in the lower back include sciatica(pain extending from the low back down the buttock and into the leg), leg numbness and paresthesia(ie--tingling), pain(stinging, burning, shooting, stabbing) radiating around the lower flank and into the groin, hip, thigh, knee, ankle or foot, or even weakness in the leg, thigh, or knee
