Hi,
You are having PIVD L34 &L45 which has symptoms of low back pain which radiate down , numbness n tingling in foot which you already have . Doing massage can aggravate the condition so it should ne avoided .
Avoid forward , lifting heavy things , sternous activity .Lifestyle modifications should be done . Overweight should be reduced ,do regular physiotherapy , warm compression .
Take analgesic ( NSAID )with muscle relaxant n ppi when symptomatic , Vitamin B12 , anti inflammatory liniment local applications ,LS belt application.
Once symptom aggavates/worsens then you should go to orthopaedic centre for your definitive treatment .

Hope you ll stay in good health.

THANKS N REGARDS
