Need to get x ray done according to me. Since the doctor has examined you, he could be right that you might have disc issue. But to confirm the extent, you need investigation - x ray first, mat need MRI also if x ray findings and clinical findings are suggesive of disc issue.
Next Steps
x ray lumbo sacral spine (AP/lateral)
Health Tips
avoid forward bending, weight lifting. weight reduction of weight is more.
