You need a consultation with a spine specialist To evaluate your spine and neurological system. This looks like a slipped disc or stenosis. Mostly gets cured with medicines. But needs to be taken care of properly with medicine rest and physio. Kindly visit with MRI OR IF possible post here the reports of MRI.

Hi, if you got pain in leg and back - it may be due to nerve root compression. Initially you can try physio traction and IFT. Consult orthopaedic doctor if pain not settles. If you got any problem with bladder and bowel or numbness or weakness- consult ortho urgently. Opinion given by Dr Sivaraman B, Thorraipakkam, Chennai
