I already have done leg raises test I am able to raise my leg up to 80 degree. When I raise my leg I feel stretch but not pain in my lower back. Is this is a disc problem.

Exercise for sciatic nerve pain
sciatica stretch
this simple stretch helps relieve sciatica pain by loosening your gluteal and piriformis muscles, which can become inflamed and press against the sciatic nerve.
1.lie on your back with your legs extended and your feet flexed upward.
2.bend your right leg and clasp your hands around the knee.
3.gently pull your right leg ac
4.ross your body toward your left shoulder. Hold it there for 30 seconds. Remember to pull your knee only as far as it will comfortably go. You should feel a relieving stretch in your muscle, not pain.
5.push your knee so your leg returns to its starting position.
6.repeat for a total of 3 reps, and then switch legs.
1. Reclining pigeon pose pigeon pose is a common yoga pose. It works to open the hips. There are multiple versions of this stretch. The first is a starting version known as the reclining pigeon pose. If you are just starting your treatment, you should try the reclining pose first.
1.while on your back, bring your right leg up to a right angle. Clasp both hands behind the thigh, locking your fingers.
2.lift your left leg and place your right on top of the left knee.
3.hold the position for a moment. This helps stretch the tiny piriformis muscle, which sometimes becomes inflamed and presses against the sciatic nerve, causing pain.
4.do the same exercise with the other leg.
Once you can do the reclining version without pain, work with your physical therapist on the sitting and forward versions of pigeon pose.
