you are suffering from disc prolapse compressing the nerve root on left side. i advise you to take bed rest, muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside, pelvic traction for few days and do the investigation like MRI of LSspine for review and further follow up.consult your doctor for prescribing medication and others
