Answer
Hi Teresa,

I have very little information to work with regarding your problem.  It sounds like you have a condition known as neuropathy and this can be a result of many different medical problems. This pain can be from lower back nerve compression, diabetes, alcohol abuse etc.  I would see a neurologist or pain management specialist.
