Hello,
Thanks for your query.
It seems you are quite disabled due to pain. Low back pain radiating to legs may be due to lumbar spine disc prolapse or spinal stenosis. I would suggest to consult a spine specialist and you may need to get Xrays and MRI of the spine.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
