Your lower back pain radiating to the legs may be due to nerve irritation (such as sciatica), often caused by a slipped disc or spinal strain. The additional pain in your shoulders and finger joints may suggest an inflammatory joint condition, such as arthritis affecting multiple joints. It is important to see a doctor for a proper examination, including blood tests and imaging, to identify the underlying cause. In the meantime, avoid prolonged sitting, maintain gentle movement, and use simple pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen if appropriate for you.

    • Seek a medical evaluation for a thorough examination and possibly imaging tests.
    • Manage symptoms with rest, heat/ice application, and over-the-counter pain relief.
