HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such lower back pain could be due to sciatica, for the confirmation this need to be investigated and the best test would be MRI of dorsal spine, as such you are going to see the doctor so you would advise there for the same, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
