Hi.. your pain looks more like a nerve related pain. We need to figure out whether the problem is in the discs of your spine or muscles in the hip which could be compressing the nerve.
Next Steps
Get evaluated to identify the cause of the pain
Health Tips
avoid sustained forward bending, lifting weights and sitting for long hours.
when the pain is intense lie down flat on your back with both knees bent, you can use a pillow under your knees. this will release the tension on the nerve temporarily
