Lumbar radiculopathy: This sounds like radicular type pain. A trial of nsaids, physical therapy, muscle relaxers, x ray plain film a good start. Mri lumbar next option with referral to pain a management for a possible selective nerve root injection along with a surgeon consult.

LS radiculopathy: Since medications are not helping, getting evaluated and treated by a physical therapist, chiropractor or an osteoapth is a good idea. Try to find the cause so you can take preventative measures. An x-ray can provide lots of information. An MRI of the lumbosacral spine is needed if symptoms persist. Mri is not as available in other countries as it is in the usa.
