You seem to be having some neurological problem as a cause for your symptoms unless proven otherwise.The backache radiating to buttocks and thigh and knee indicates a serious local cause affecting the spine.It can be a sciatica or disc prolapse related issue.You should get a thorough physical and neurological examination by a neurologist and get investigated to point out the exact diagnosis.You would need CT/MRI spine as suggested after the examination and follow the advise accordingly.
Meanwhile you should avoid awkward postures, should use a hard bed for lying down, use local pain killer spray like one containing diclofenac gel.If you have any further query please let me know I would try to answer it for you.
Wish you a great health!
