What Causes Pain In The Lower Back Radiating To The Buttocks And Leg?

Get investigated as advised and take treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
You may be suffering from lumbo-sacral radiculopathy caused by compression of nerve roots at lumbar region by disc prolapse.
You need to get imaging of spine preferably MRI lumbo-sacral spine.
For pain relief you should avoid lifting heavy objects, squatting, sitting crossed leg, stooping forward, lifting heavy objects.
Pain killers with muscle relaxant like Etoricoxib or Aceclofenac with Thiocholchicoside or Tizanidine can be taken.
Pain modulator drugs like Pregabalin or Amitryptiline or Gabapentin can be used.
Non responsive symptoms may require surgical intervention as evidenced by MRI.
For knee pain you need to follow up and consult an orthopaedic surgeon as it is different from back pain and may require knee surgery in advanced cases.
Provide any reports if available.
Do get back to me for further queries.
