Brief Answer:
Could be slipped disc

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have read your query.
To me it appears to be slipped disc, affecting one of nerve roots( Pain Going down the left leg). The confirmation will be by MRI Lumbo Sacral Spine .
I suggest pain killers ,muscle relaxants and physiotherapy( IFT + ILT + Spinal Extension Exercises). Take some precautions like avoid forward bending, weightlifting and prolonged sitting.
Hope to have answered your query. send your MRI Report and films also.
Thanks for the question.

Avoid chiropractic

It is good to hear that you are feeling better.
Chiropractic treatment can be taken if you are sire of your disease. It is a manipulative therapy and it can work both ways- improvements and sometimes worsening of the condition.
Will wait for MRI Report( If required)
