Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This pain seems to be out of a slipped disc causing radiating neuropathic pain down the leg. I suggest you get an MRI of LS spine done and consult an orthopedic doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahaveer Patil
