Hello,Thanks for your query.After going through your query I came to know that you are probably suffering from lumbar disc prolapse with sciatic radiation. Second possibility is lumbar spondylosis with disc prolapse. If you are younger than 40years of age then possibility of disc prolapse is more while in older age group possibility of lumbar spondylosis is more. These can be differentiated by by MRI scan of lumbar spine.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
