Common causes of low back pain are-
Poor postural habits
Muscular strain
Ligaments sprain
Herniated disc
Spinal stenosis
Osteoporosis
Fibromyalgia

As you have radicular pain in left leg and unable to bend forward it could be due to prolapsed intervertebral disc.I need to examine you and correlate with an MRI to reach final diagnosis.I advise muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine, NSAIDs like aceclofenac or tramadol and neurotropic drugs like gabapentin .If no improvement after this then, as a pain physician we have number of day care procedures like nucleoplasty, ozone therapy, epidural steroid injection to cure you of this problem within few hours. Consult a pain physician for further advice
