My leg hurts

My legs hurts. It hurts hurts hurts. I can find so far only 2 genuinely comfortable positions to sleep in, but as it turns out, I roll around so much when I sleep that this means waking up continually throughout the night just to roll back into one of those two positions, which, while still not making my leg hurt, are just not where I physically

I think there's something weird going on with the nerves in my lower back. For a while now I'd have some lower back pain, but I just assumed I wasn't bending my knees enough while picking up kids/toys. But a couple weeks back the back pain disappeared and was replaced by these shooting pains down my left leg. It's not like, super painful- it's more like my leg is constantly telling me to stop doing whatever it is I'm doing- but it's chronic.
Bizarrely enough the only time it doesn't give me any trouble is when I'm running. Something about being active makes it lessen. So after being at work all day and then running yesterday evening, it felt much more normal than it did over the weekend.
