Hi There

After going through your query I understand your concern.

I would like to tell you that low back pains or lumber pains can irritate sciatic nerve which can cause radiating pain to leg. Symptoms like numbness, tingling or burning sensation can be there, but evaluation for Sciatica is required as some other condition can mimic Sciatica.

Kindly consult with a orthopedist for physical and diagnostic evaluation. Also consult with a Physiotherapist for Sciatica pain relieving exercises.Learn how to do the exercises with the right form & keep doing the exercises even after you start to feel better.

Hope to have been Helpful.

Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
