Brief Answer:
Seems like disc problem

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I need more details about the symptoms so that I am better able to help. Kindly send details like duration, severity, where exactly is pain in legs, what makes it worse, what makes it better.

Usually most back pains get better in 2-3 weeks. But if the pain is bad or its been there for a long time then further tests must be done to find diagnosis.

Meanwhile take pain killers like brufen 200 mg 2 times a day and avoid lifting heavy weights.

Visit an orthopedic surgeon for further management.
