Need urgent eval: 1st--if asking about driving--no! if you are having issues with walking and radiating pain, then you cannot safely control a vehicle, get a ride. 2nd--you need an MRI and examination to determine if there is a disc issue present that requires surgery or medical management. See your dr / er or a back surgeon asap.

Disc herniation: If you are not under doctors care , you should be seeing an orthopedic doctor or a prolotherapist to diagnose and direct a course of treatment. Visit www.Getprolo.Com or www.Aaomed.Org for a prolotherapy doctor and find out how prolotherapy can help you without surgery.

Bilateral Leg Pain: You should be skeptical about the previous recommendation for prolotherapy. While I do recommend this type of treatment for musculoskeletal problems, your description of bilateral nerve compression pain and sensory changes in both legs may be due to a surgical problem in the lumbar spine. You should be seen by a neurosurgeon and a lumbar MRI is warranted.
