HI
Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P Thanks for posting your query.
After going through your symptoms I feel that you are having Disc Prolapse . This is a condition where Intervertebral disc ( its a structure present between Spinal bones ) get displaced from its usual position .
Due to this there occurs compression of nerves that supplies sensation to the back and legs and hence you are getting these back pain.
You need to get a MRILumbar Spine to know the severity of the disc prolapse. If this is confirmed then you need to consult an Orthopedic surgeon as the treatment depends on the severity of the problem .
Hope this information is useful to you. Any clarification feel free to ask.
