Hello! Thank you for writing us here.
According to your symptoms, I'm suspecting its sciatica. Its due to compression of the sciatic nerve present at back of your leg which occurs due to lumbar disc injury.
I would suggest you to consult an orthopedic surgeon or a physiotherapist. Its your wish whom to consult among two.
Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
