What Causes Pain In Lower Back Radiating To Buttocks And Legs?

Hi! I have pain in my lower back from degenerative disc disease, pain that radiates through my buttocks and down the sides of both my legs, the back of my calve and numbness in my toes. I DO NOT have a pinched nerve according to the doctor who did the nerve conduction study. I do have fibromyalgia and wonder if this is causing it.
