It could be a nerve compression due to listhesis or pseudodisc. An MRI LS spine is needed along with dynamic xray of lumber spine to see for instability with mobility of spine as well as nerve compression.
For now you could wear a LS belt, avoid sitting on floor with legs folded, avoid bending forward and lifting weights as it may aggravate the problem.
Also till you get scanned and treated you can continue medications like muscle relaxant and gabapentin along with the above mentioned precautions
