From last two years I have pain in my right leg from buttock to ankle. And some time in left leg also. And always have lower back pain. Some time I can't walk properly. But I do exercise. Daily one and half hour. Both cardio and weight lifting. Sometimes I feel pain more. But I do it regularly. Only main problem is pain in my right leg buttock. And I feel my legs. Are weak as compared to my body. And also always have knee pain. On both legs. Pls suggest do I need surgery .or not. Bcs I am confused. Whether it's a sciatica or slipped disc. I can raise my both legs on lying flat on back. Little pain.in right buttock only when I raise my legs.

you have nerve compression on your l4l5 area thats the main reason for radiating pain. and that is the sciatica. don't lift heavy weight. you need rest. after getting free from the pain you can go for exs. surgery not required just go for physiotherapy sessions it will definitely help you out.
