Hello,
Yes your back can cause calf,thigh pain. My pain kept geting worse. I knew I had 4 buldging disc. I went to a Spinal Institue,& MRI showed 3 ruptured discs.
I had PLIF,multi level 3,Laminectomy, surgery done July 8th 2008.
My calf pain now is completly gone.
I am still recovering,& I have days with pain in my back& I lay down with an ice pack placed on my back which helps alot.
I tire very quickly, but I have Fibromyalgia, & Reflex Sympathy Dystrophy.
I am hoping my back sugery will be a sucess. I would suggest seeing a Doctor due to
the calf pain....Mine calf & back pain was awfull,& it only became worse.
Wishing you luck
