Hello,
Thanks for your query.

You seem to have a prolapsed inter vertebral disc. This disc may be compressing upon a nerve root that either exits or traverses through that level. Having known this basic anatomy, you must avoid any activity that aggravates the condition, like bending forward and lifting heavy objects, sitting long hours on computer, inappropriate sitting posture, etc.

May be its time you need an MRI done to have a diagnosis established. With that one can formulate a definitive treatment plan.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
