[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case, You may need MRI spine. If MRI shows mild to moderate disc bulge with canal stenosis. Due to compression of this nerve root there can be leg pain associated with it. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Epidural steroid may help. If there is no relief with all conservative measures then decompression with fusion or disc replacement can be done. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
