Pain in your leg which is going down to foot may be due to pressure on nerve root.if pain in your mainly during walking or standing or sleeping in supine post iona nd relieved during sitting and sleeping with knee bending then it must be due to nerve root compression in your spine.you have to go to clinician and he will do some clinical test and easily will tell you resion of pain.treatment is depends on severity of symptoms and neurological findings.mostly it is conservative
