Radiculopathy: This symptom of sciatic type pain can be from a bulging disc, slipped disc or spinal stenosis, Incorrect walking will aggravate the problem, but I don't encourage bed rest either. You could take anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen. Symptoms often resolve after days or a few weeks. An MRI would be helpful in making the diagnosis. See orthopedic specialist, neurologist, neurosurg
