Severe Lower Back Pain Radiating to Left

I am experiencing significant lower back pain in the central region which started a few days ago and suddenly worsened after a squatting movement. The pain now radiates into my left leg and makes it difficult to walk, especially when putting weight on the left side. I am also unable to sit upright at 90 degrees due to increased pain, and getting into bed is particularly painful while getting up is slightly manageable. There is no loss of bladder control, but the pain intensity has increased enough to affect basic movements and daily activities. I am looking for an early consultation with an orthopedic (spine) specialist to evaluate the condition and suggest appropriate treatment.

25F back pain, recurrent with no trigger

Attaching my MRI for reference (taken in 2023). I got sciatica 7 years ago and it healed on its own. Since then every year i used to get it once a year or so. But now the pain has changed..it's near groin region but sometimes changes its position to upwards too. Feels like something is tensed and pinching. It usually lasts for 2 weeks and goes away but now it's persistent. It feels ok when walking. But sitting and lying down feels uncomfortable regardless of position. I used to be sedentary years ago but now i walk 10k steps and don't sit much. Still this happens. I have given up on a lot of things due to this pain. I have no idea what's the cause and how to fix. I only get prescribed pain meds. But i really want to know why this is happening..im only 25, no unhealthy habits and am at normal BMI. I don't lift weights.This makes me depressed every night. Please help me.
