HI,
Pain if radiating to both / one lower limb it indicates neurological origin ( sciatica ) which needs to be evaluated clinically ( SLRT ). If this is the case , then 1) complete bed rest 2) muscle relaxants 3) physiotherapy .....for a period of 3 weeks.
If no relief , take an MRI SCAN.
If pain is non radiating, then it may be a part of LS STRAIN, which wil be relieved with rest , exercises and muscle relaxants in association with LS CORSET.
