Brief Answer:
It points towards sciatica

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

This pain is typical of sciatica pain. Sciatica pain is due to trapping of nerve roots of spine. You need to undergo an MRI of the spine to look for it. The most common reason is a prolapsed inter-vertebral disc.

Please go for evaluation and revert to me.
