Brief Answer:
Could be due to compression of nerve root.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Pain and numbness down the leg could be due to compression of nerve root at back. Get an xray/MRI of back under guidance of your doctor. You can take ibuprofen to reduce pain.
Avoid forward bending and heavy weight lifting.

Hope this helps you.

Warm regards.
