Hi, well by considering your history and explanation in your complaint we can conclude that patient is suffering from low back pain with sciatica. Which can be a result of mild disc bulge in your lumbar vertebrae. We can confirm the diagnosis with more clinical examination and investigation like MRI. As there is sever pain especially at night and unable to sleep I will suggest you to immediately consult nearest physiotherapy clinic to get relief also you can try below things I will suggest you to do following 1. Posture correction: do not slouch while sitting and sit straight with tightening your back. As sitting slouch increases disc bulge more. 2. Do hot water fomentation three times daily 15 min 3. Apply local ointment like volini 4. Rest: Give rest to your back whenever you're in pain 5: most important is do mckenzie back extension exercise (google it) every two hourly try it for a week if no improvement than consult your nearest physical therapist hope this will help you thank you.
