hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

As by reading the history I feel you need to undergo an MRI of the lumbar spine. as this will help us to show any soft tissue changes. Since the pain you mentioned about radiating pain there may be a possibility of nerve impingement. Post MRI, you may be advised to undergo physical therapy. As it will help to reduce the pain and also improve the strength in muscles .

in my clinical practice I see cases with back pathologies and as per me now you need an MRI of lumbar spine and then a physical therapy for optimum recovery.
