Hi,
Yes, if you are untreated it will become a serious issue. Get an appointment with an orthopedist or physiotherapist, and get your x-ray done to know the level of compression. then will decide on the treatment plan.

It looks like sciatica the kind of radiating pain will come in two ways
1. vertebral involvement sometimes that disc bulge will cause this pain.
2. muscle tightness piriformis or gluteal muscle this muscle tightness will compress your nerve root so you will have the pain
that radiating pain s the symptom only we need to correct the root cause
some times that symptomatic radiating pain will go on its own but the actual problem is not rectified so kindly take a proper assessment and treatment

Hi, it could be nerve compression. We have to assess you first before coming to any diagnosis. Low back pain with leg pain due to nerve compression is not a serious problem which can be managed with exercise and activity modification . Consult a Physiotherapist
