Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for your query.

From description it seems you might be suffering from siatica. Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve — which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg.
Although the pain associated with sciatica can be severe, most cases resolve with just conservative treatments in a few weeks.
MRI is needed to establish the cause of sciatica, so that appropriate treatment can be prescribed.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
