I am presently diagnosed sciatica of left leg consequent upon L5-S1disc disorder.
It all started on 9.6.10 when I was lifting a laptop bag weighing about 10 kg. There was severe pain in the lower back. I sat down and managed to get up slowly. Went to site office and then to doctor. He gave pain relieving medicine, advised rest and not to bend forward to lift. Since I was at project site, I took reasonable rest and returned home next day.
I took 2 days bed rest and resumed office work after that. The doctor advised me that the pain will go slowly and I should be careful about lifting things. My job calls for computer use in sitting position. It continued till 30.7.10 with 8 hours table work and 2 hours driving each day, followed by only weekend rest and no medication.
I was relieved of back pain in about 4 weeks time. The leg pain started about 3 weeks after the first incidence. The leg pain continued increasing. The doctor advised me x-ray followed by MRI.
The MRI report is as follow:
