Radiculopathy: Pain in the low back radiating into the leg, and relieved with anti-inflammatory medication (such as Motrin or aspirin) suggests Sciatica, a form of radiculopathy(a medical condition affecting the root of a spinal nerve). The most common cause is a herniated or bulging Disc. For more information on this problem SEE: bit.ly/1v1juFX and bit.ly/1wCMDpb
