Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.If you have a herniated disc you can have problems like this.For intervertebral disc herniations in lumbosacral region of spine will have leg pain.A physical examination with orthopedician will give clue for this and X ray followed by MRI can confirm it.For such condition i treat with NSAIDs like aceclofenac muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine and neurotropic drugs.I also send them for physiotherapy and muscle strengthening exercises along with this.If no improvement or the injury is severe then a surgical correction can be considered.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
