Probably sciatica: Better to get checked as can be disc prolapse but more likely if pain is not severe.

Stretch : Stretching excercises are good. You have a nerve impingement. See an orthopedist or neurologist. If severe pain, hey may recommend an injection, sometimes, they may prescribe oral meds to take the pain edge off and other times may recommend physical therapy.
