<s>[INST] I have pain ranging from my mid back on the right, down to my hip, groin down my leg. I am also experiencing shortness of breath. This has been ongoing for around 8 weeks with no obvious injury or strain. It has come out of nowhere. Any ideas what it could be? [/INST] Hi Hope this message finds you in good health.The pain that you have been experiencing might be due to a compressed nerve root in the back,most probably due to a prolapse of intervertebral disc.Sciatica needs to be ruled out. An MRI of the back region would confirm the diagnosis.Shortness of breath can be due to anxiety and a chest Xray needs to be done.Consult a physicianHope your query has been answeredNothing to worry about, You should eventually get back to normal.Best Regards </s>
