Looks like you are suffering from lumbar disc herniation mostly likely at L4-5 level
MRI LS Spine will confirm the diagnosis
Strict Bed Rest for a few days avoid getting out of bed except for bathroom privileges
Can start taking Tab Nervmax SR 75mg once daily in the evening 7-8 pm
Watch for leg numbness or weakness
Can consult me online on practo for further detailed plan of treatment

It may be sciatica. You need MRI to confirm. Physio in form of IFT/ Usg Massage and mild traction might help. Consult orthopaedic dr near you.
