hi
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough clinical examination is advised.
As you have pain on right side from hip to the feet I feel it will be a pinched nerve pain as this is the classical symptoms or the pinched nerve.
Getting a clinical assessment and an MRI of lumbar spine should help understand the soft tissue within the lumbar spine.
Also post the clinical examination physical therapy can be Advised for further management.
In my clinical practice most cases respond well to physical therapy.
