### Patient: Hi Doctor, I have been having a lot of pain in my lower back and legs, and I think it might be sciatica. 
### Doctor: Yes, it is possible that you have sciatica. In order to confirm this, we will need to conduct various tests. We would start with some radiographic imaging procedures such as a plain X-ray or Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to get a better picture of your spine. Depending on the results, we might recommend physical therapy exercises, other physical therapy and rehabilitation, insertion of catheter or spinal stimulator and injection into spinal canal, or even a bone density scan.
