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

The description suggests that you have lumbar disc disease with radiculopathy. The initial management for this problem is conservative by following means :
- Bed rest
- analgesics and ocassional muscle relaxants
- Methylcobalamine preparations which helps to alleviate your "pins & needles" sensations
- lumbar back support while sitting for longer periods
- intermittent pelvic traction
If you dont get any relief within 3 weeks, you need an orthosurgeons consultation to decide upon the need for surgical intervention.

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