Hi..

The pain what you described is basically from a nerve damage..it may be a small comprehension or may a irritation..
I recommend you to take Investigation to rule out nerve root impingement...
if there is disc iritation. then you can try with McKenzie program...and core and glute stability exercises...
Since you already have a foot drop...it is very important that you take early intervention..

Hope this is helpful for you...
kindly revert back in case you need any further help...
