Consult orthopaedic doctor. You need a MRI scan. It will show disc bulge with compression of nerve root. Nerve root injection will help you.

Your low back pain is radiating to your leg. Consult an orthopedician first. And start taking Physiotherapy sessions including IFT along the nerve route and Ultrasonic according to clinical assessment followed by stretching and strengthening exercises.
