I am a 25 year old male. 170cms and 85kg. About 2 weeks ago i started experiencing a lower back pain when i woke up from sleep in the morning. It was so intense that i could not even bend over to wear bottom wears. I applied some pain balm and took ibuprofen for about 3-4 days and the pain felt like it has come down to the right hip joint and became less intense day by day. But i am still experiencing a kind of radiating pain from the back of the right buttocks till the calf. I am not feeling it when i am sitting or lying down but i feel it when bending over with knees straight and also when i stand for more than 5-10 minutes. Is this a serious condition? What am i supposed to do?

Get youself checked by an orthopedic doctor.Also get a x ray done.you should avoid bending forward,n also donot lift any heavy weights till your pain subsides.Bending forward with the knees bent never straight if picking up any object from the floor.U can do some hot fomentation in the area where you have pain,take few physiotherapy sessions for the relief of pain.lastly you should loose weight,your ideal body weight should be 65-69 kg.
