hi jacqueline ,
This could be due radiculopathy which shows the symptoms of low back pain which radiated to thigh calf n even ankle with or without tingling n numbness.
There could be cause as well which need to be diagnosed through proper clinical examination n investigation includin X Ray , MRI etc .
If suggestive of LBP with radiculopathy then at this stage you may require conservative surgery with Physiotherapy , lifestyle modifications , warm compression , avoid sternous n bending forward activities n analgesic (NSAID) muscle relaxant pain vitamine .If the symptom aggravate or bowel n bladder involvement then emg operative decompression required .

Hope this ll help

Thanks n regards
