Hello!
Dear sir, the typical posture that you have is called sciatic list. In these cases the most common cause in young patients is a prolapsed intervertebral disc. herniation of the disc leads to compression of a nerve root and the pain radiates to the affected lower limb in the sensory distribution of that nerve. For acute management take strict bed rest for three days and do hot water fomentation thrice a day.
Next Steps
Get an MRI of lumbosacral spine. consult your orthopaedic immediately
Health Tips
Muscle relaxants & neurosedatives for a start and the rest to be decided after consultation. Thank you
