Hello
Thanks for the detailed reply
I would like to you to understand the basic problem that you are facing right now.
Your vertebrae ( the bony part of the spine) encloses the spinal cord, each verterbral body is separated by a vertebral disc. In your case this vertebral disc has slipped out and is touching on the sacral part of the spinal region ( that is just above your butt, in the centre), this is the basic reason behind your back ache, since these nerves also supply the legs you are having leg pain.
The only way this suffering can end is to approach a good neuro surgeon for an opinion on a surgical intervention to make sure the disc is not touching the spinal radicles. Pain killers which you have been prescribed can only morph the symptoms
I hope I have answered your query, if you have any further ones I will be happy to reply
Regards
