    Look at biased slump and SLR tests. Could be radicular pain but always good to also get checked out for more serious things - saddle numbness, incontinence motor function loss etc

    Also, I would suggest that if you are presenting a patient on here as seeking advice, perhaps a more thorough and structured presentation will yield better results. ie more info, better able to help tie down a diagnosis
