Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms points towards possibility of nerve root compression with radicular pain to lower limbs. This a be due to disc herniation in lower lumbar spine. Diagnosis needs to be confirmed by doing MRI of the lumbo sacral spine with screening of whole spine. Please get it done from radiology centre nearby you. Meanwhile avoid forward bending and weight lifting. Start tab pregalin x 75 mg one at bedtime. You need to consult orthopaedic spine surgeon with report.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
