Suggest Remedy For Lower Back Pain

I had been experiencing lower back pain for over a week. Initially, I though it to be a muscle strain/pull. I have alternated ice/heat/stretching (after icing the first two days). The pain has now progress to my rip hip and pelvic area and even to higher portions of my back. I am also feeling nausea, lightheaded ness, and numbing/tickling sensations in my lower legs. Please advise.

Well...the lower back pain...it can be arise from different structures at the back from skin to the bones depends on age and other factors.
The bening pain can be settled by taking painkillers and physiotherapy.
In elderly patients this pain could range from osteoarthritis to metasis. But pain in young patient not improving with medications...then it is alarming...
But you have alarming symptoms..your pain is radiating to the pelvic area ..the lesion looks like to be in the L5,S1 disc...
You better do a CT scan of lumnosacral area and consult a neurosurgeon.
