Agree with my colleagues.
Slip disc leads to compression of nerve root leading to radiating pains.
Imaging if u have it would be helpful.
Better to take nearest neurologist opinion or if possible online consultation.
Avoid bending, straining , lifting weights.

Slip disc causes sciatica which is leg pain.
It would be better if you uploaded your reports which suggest slip disc

Pain only one side can be sciatica- your guess is right.
But, given your age, would not take it lightly. Please speak to a doctor. Face to face consultation would be helpful.
If not possible due to prevailing conditions, Please do a Tele consult
