I have had back pain for 4 months its spreading all over my back an to lower back going into legs down to feet can't even lie down! what is it?

Disc problem: Low back pain radiating to the legs suggests a bulging or herniated intervertebral disc. I recommend an evaluation by a neurosurgeon or orthopedic surgeon who will order the appropriate tests.
