What to do for pain in my lower back and radiates down thru the buttocks into my legs?

Get it evaluated: You may be describing a case of sciatica or otherwise known as pinched nerve. See your doctor. I would suggest antiinflammatory meds and physical therapy as a first step. If the problem persists, you will likely need an MRI and more specific therapy.
