Tingling and numbness in the leg
Getting pain in lower back and entire right leg, while sitting, bending , feeling numbness, tingling and weakness in the leg. Can it be cured by physiotherapy and with medication? Is it required to get MRI Scan to diagnose the cause. Already took the X Ray, but doctor told every thing seems fine in that. But asked me to get MRI. Does this problem come under Ortho?

Your symptoms suggest nerve compression. It can be cured by medications and Physiotherapy. Consult an orthopedician and start taking Physiotherapy sessions to have faster results.
