I have been taking  physiotherapy sessions from last 15 days due to pain in my back and left leg because my orthopedic surgeon suggested me to do so without any tests he said I have sciatica.But my pain was stagnant in my thighs so I consulted another orthopedic surgeon and after MRI (report is attached) he gave me - 1. neurotrat np for 2 months and 2. medrol 8 mg for 5 days 3. Nucoxia mr for 5 days ( take only if there is pain in back) And suggested me to take only Tens and IFT and avoid exercises and be on rest but my physiotherapist is saying to do exercise. I am confused what should I do?

Has the pain worsened due to physiotherapy? How severe is the pain? Do you have muscle spasm? Two doctors may have different approach to same ailment. Trust your doctor. Chose one of the two doctors and stick to him. A radicular pain takes atleast two month to resolve. Have patience.
Next Steps
Follow up consult with either doctor.
