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
