Detailed Answer:

Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. It is likely to be sciatica due to radiation from lumbar spine. You are likely to be having lumbar spondylosis( degenerative spine) as it is common in your age. It may be causing sciatica. It can be confirmed by x ray and MRI of lumbar spine.Pain is likely to be reduced by rest in lateral position and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Mecobalamine help in reducing numbness.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
