Physical exam: Time to go for a physical exam. You may be experiencing some radiculopathy, pain radiating from your back to your feet, from sciatica, or irritation and impingement of the sciatic nerve as it exits your spine. You need to learn how to bend at your knees rather than bending from your hips. Tests you may undergo include the straight leg raising test. Rest your back and hot showers to the area.
