Hi,

Thank you for providing the brief history of you.

As the pain is radiating in nature, a thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. This kind of pain occurs due to pinch of the nerve root in the lumbar spine and radiates down the leg depending upon the dermatome and myotome regions.

Also, with simple physical therapy, you should get maximum benefits. As per the research, majority of cases recover with physical therapy and have a better functional ability.
