hi,
Thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough examination is advised.
As you have pain which appears to me is of radiating in nature, you may have a pinched nerve in the lumbar spine due to which the pain is in the hip, thigh and leg area. Also, due to such pinch of nerve, the motor control reduces and then knee buckling is expected.
Under going an MRI of lumbar spine should provide soft tissue status and with physical therapy - like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy the pain will be controlled. Post which with exercises to strengthen the muscles of the spine will help stabilize the spine and provide good results.
Research supports the positive effect of physical therapy on most patients with such symptoms. In my clinical practice, majority of patients respond well to physical therapy and ADL are performed better.
