If you are having disc problem , chances are high that this disc is compressing nerve of your leg which passes from brain to leg through your spine. I would recommend you to get MRI of your spine. This will give us picture about your compression site. If MRI is normal than physiotherapy will be helpful. If nerve compression is there start gabapentin and methyl cobalamine.
