You may require investigations like X-ray of spine and if necessary MRI of spine.
It seems that you are facing SCIATICA problem. Consult to Orthopedic or Physiotherapist and get Lumbar Traction for the same, as well as Spinal support and Postural guidance rest and work is important and Some Spinal exercises is good for you under guidence of physioterepist.
Thanks

Thank you for choosing health care magic. Based on the information what you have provided your condition sounds like disc herniation with nerve impingement. Take pain killers and bed rest for now and see a neuro physician or orthopedician at the earliest. MRI lumbarspine is the best test to find out the reason for pain and based upon the results physician advise you the best treatment modality.
