Hello, I have gone through your query. I would recommend you to investigate by MRI. As you have low back pain, it might accompanied by nerve compression which gives you tingling and numbness of either leg. You need to check for muscle tightness too which also contribute in your low back pain and tingling. Low back, muscles of back thigh and calf stretching might help you in earlier stages. Please consult a physical therapist to learn them in precised form.
