Hi,
Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic for posting your query
I'm Dr. Sudhir Kumar,
I have gone through your question in detail and understand your concern. You are likely to be having lumbar spondylitis with radiation pain to leg(sciatica) as it is common in your age. It can be confirmed by x ray and MRI of lumbar spine. Its treatment is rest in lateral position with both hips and knees flexed. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is helpful in relieving pain. Glucosamine delays and repair degenerative changes to some extent. Mecobalamine is helpful in resolving sciatica.
You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
Wishing you good health
Take care
