Sounds like you have sciatica. What happens is the muscles of your core (your hips, thighs, back and most importantly your abs) get knotted and in spasm. You may have done something to irritate any of those muscles or to hurt your spine, like lift something heavy. If this is the case your spine sounds like it is compressed and because of that it’s irritating those nerves around the compression and causing you all kinds of pains. When these muscles are irritated they pull the lower back and pelvis out of alignment and that causes painful sciatica and other problems. I hurt my back before and a friend turned me onto inversion therapy or hanging upside down. After just one try I could feel the muscles in my abs start to stretch out as the spasms broke up and the muscles relaxed. As your abs loosen they will release their grip on your hip muscles and thighs. As those muscles all loosen they will release their grip on your lower back muscles. As they relax and loosen they will release their grip on your lower spine and pelvis. Once all the muscles are relaxed your lower back and pelvis will be free to go back into alignment naturally and this is what will stop your pain and sciatica. Stretching the muscles is the most important thing! Hope this helps.
