How To Reduce Pain In Lower Back Radiating Towards Thighs?

Hello. I am a 23 year old female. A couple of days ago, I started a lower back ache while pushing my nephew in a toddler stroller. Since then, it has been getting worse. I can t seem to sit nor stand up straight. Looking up is hard and lifting my arms make it worse and is accompanied by a radiation of pain down my thighs.I can t sleep on either side of my body, only on my stomach. Might this be a spasm or sprain. And what can I do to relieve it.?

HI
Well come to HCM
This kind of pain could be due to some vertebra disc compression herniation and this is happing due to uneven pressure and here this could be due to pushing, now bed rest is prime care, and analgesic, best option would be "Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day" if the condition remains as it is then this need to be investigated, hope this information helps, take care.
