Dear patient
You seems to have radicular pain in lower limb mostly from disc problem. History of onset of pain after lifting weight points towards diagnosis of nerve compression due to disc prolapse. You need to be investigated with Mri of lumbosacral spine as ot gives detail information about disc and nerves and helps ro confirm diagnosis. Take strict bed rest for few days. Start tab durapain twice a day for pain relief with tab pregalin plus vitamin B12 combination one at bedtime. Try this for 7 days and hope for the best. If mri report shows significant disc prolapse need to consult expert orthopaedic surgeon nearby you.
