Hello,
As the pain was radiating in nature this is a clear indication of the nerve entrapment. Taking up an MRI of the lumbar spine to see the soft tissue anatomy is important.
With an exercise like core stability, spinal muscle strengthening, hip muscle strengthening, and lower limb strengthening are advised to avoid the symptoms to aggravate.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
