stress will make everything worse...you tighten up your whole body and its gonna hurt......Bummer knees turned me on to Tiger balm patches and they really help alot...try putting it on at night before bed and see if it helps.......A massage also helps if you can afford it.....And if nothing above helps get an appt with your doc and see about some tests to find out whats happening......

A pinched nerve can cause pain down the leg into the foot. the same as a disc. Have you had a MRI? You could also try a support brace from the pharmacy , heat, ice to your back. try not to sit or stand in one place to long.....Anything is possable. If it does not get better in a week or so, You should see your Dr. Take it easy, no heavy lifting, bed making , vacumning and standing at the sink for long periods can increase your pain. So go easy.....
