seems like pinched nerve . Possible herniated disk
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic to post your question.
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.
The symptom you are describing seems like a pain from the compression of the nerve. Most probably the sciatic nerve (from the localization of the pain radiation).
1) Take a painkiller regularly for at least 7 days: Ibuprofen 400 mg, 3 times/day with food.
2) Avoid bed rest but overuse too, so try to be active enough as not to get tired.
3) If weakness of the leg starts, consider a visit to a local neurologist who can examine you and order an MRI to rule out possible herniated disk.
4) Avoid lifting heavy weights. Protect your back.
5) At a second stage, you may benefit from physical therapy.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Regards,
Dr.Papaqako
