Hello, greetings from Kolkata.
As per your question, i can understand you have prolapsed disc at L4-L5. It can cause both back pain as well as leg pain. However, the leg pain is mainly suggestive of nerve root compression. So, you would have more relief of your leg pain than your back pain if root compression is caused by the disc.
Next Steps
Follow your doctor's advice. Avoid forward bending/strenous activities
Health Tips
you can send your MRI pictures and contact me through practo for any further advice.
