Hi,
A back pain pain along with radiating to thighs can be attributed to sciatica in which a nerve gets impinged along its route and it causes pain. So to treat it conservatively sleep on hard bed that too straight with a small cushion under your knees will relieve the tension on nerve and will relieve you pain
At times while you are travelling use of lumber corset will help in preventing any further trauma, have your blood calcium, vit d and vit b-12 levels check as there below normal levels will worsen the condition. Travel light if your work require you to travel.
In diet have lots of green vegetables, fluids and have b12 supplements as (vit B 12 is a neuro tonic) do light weight exercises and low impact aerobics like cycling and swimming) and maintain correct posture and ergonomics like sitting straight.
Correct ways to use computers and mobiles as maintaining wrong postures worsens the condition. If pain is affecting mostly while going to bed consider sleeping on hard bed or consider changing your mattress to half inch memory form mattress.
Hope you find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
