Brief Answer:
Slip disc. Needs medication, exercise, Xray and MRI

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

It appears that you have slip disc which is causing the radiating pain to the leg.

It is better to take Tablet Diclofenac with Thicolchicoside combination twice a day for 5 days after meals and Tablet Ranitidine 150mg twice a day for 5 days before meals

Avoid bending forwards or lifting weights. Apply hot packs to the painful regions intermittently. Do back extension exercises and physiotherapy.

Do get an Xray and MRI of lumbosacral spine and review with me.

I hope I have answered your query

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
