I've got this pain all the way down my left leg, starting at my lower back. It gets progressively sharper as you go down the leg, with most of the pair being in my calves. My mum said she thought maybe I'd slipped a disc, does that sound plausible? I can't stretch it out, and this also makes it hurt like fuck. The other leg is fine. I've had a sore back since coming back from skiing. Thoughts?

You need a backiotomy
Worst case scenario you could have blood clot in your leg.

Yeah I found this which suggest it's certainly a possibility.
Nerve root pain (usually 'sciatica')
Nerve root pain is pain that occurs because a nerve coming from the spinal cord is pressed on ('trapped') by a prolapsed disc, or is irritated by the inflammation caused by the prolapsed disc. Although the problem is in the back, you feel pain along the course of the nerve in addition to back pain. Therefore, you may feel pain down a leg to the calf or foot. Nerve root pain can range from mild to severe, but it is often worse than the back pain. With a prolapsed disc, the sciatic nerve is the most commonly affected nerve. (The term 'sciatica' means nerve root pain of the sciatic nerve.) The sciatic nerve is a large nerve that is made up from several smaller nerves that come out from the spinal cord in the lower back. It travels deep inside the buttock and down the back of the leg. There is a sciatic nerve for each leg.
well I only spent 5 years in medical school so i cant help you out that much.
Well I've only spent 2 years in medical school and I think slipped disc is very possible.

I retract my original diagnosis (aries smells) and i think it's definitely acute vitamin J overdose.

You live in socialist Europe, go get it checked out, shouldn't cost much if anything.
I have health insurance, but my doctor is shit. I'd be more comfortable getting Dr.Mengele to check me out.
Have you been kicking babies harder than usual? You might have pinched a nerve.
