Hi..

I would recommend you to first know the source of symptoms..
With your symptoms..I presume the source of symptoms could be due to neural irritation due to disc... resulting in hypomobile lumbar vertebral mobility...leading to stuff SI joint. Gluteus muscle will go for inhibition and no longer be effectively control and produce movement.

I recommend you to do
lot of icing on your back..
spinal extension exercises.
maintain spine extension while lying on the stomach. for atleast 20 mins for atleast 3-4 times in a day...
glute rehab like bridging side bridge..lying in side lifting leg up and down..
Good stretching exercises for hip flexor.. Gluteus..etc

Hope this is helpful for you...
kindly revert back in case you need any more help in this regard
