I did some further tests and weather I’m standing up/ sitting down , if I put my leg straight I get the terrible electrical pain. Although I have zero back pain you believe it must be related to my spine?

Thank you for your query. As what Dr. Bryan K has mentioned, the fact that you used the word 'electricity' is very telling. I would encourage you to see a GP/polyclinic soon as more information regarding any preceding injury, duration of your symptoms as well as any associated weakness and numbness in your affected limb is needed to guide the treatment. It is indeed possible to have just a 'leg issue' without back pain even though the root of the problem is in the spinal discs. Meanwhile, it would help for you to do gentle back and hamstring stretches and to avoid lifting heavy objects while you await further medical review. I hope this helps.
