Definitely this problem can be due to a pressure by disc prolapse.You should go for a X -Ray of lumbo-sacral vertebrae in lateral as well as A.P views to find if there is any reduction in the intervertebral spaces or any other signs of pressure on the nerve roots or spinal cord itself.In the mean time you should use a lumbo-sacral belt particularly while travelling or doing exertional work.
