I would start with a healthcare professional. This can be a chiropractor or a medical doctor that specializes in back issues. It sounds like it could be a disc problem. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
Radiating leg pain could be from pinching of nerve in the spine or muscle spasm. It can be from injury or lifting heavy or wear and tear. I would suggest to see your doctor for spine evaluation.
