Hi, As mentioned you have low back pain with radiculopathy following lifting heavy weight. This could be due to bony (antithesis, etc.) or soft tissue (PIED, etc.) pathology. So visit Orthopedic surgery center preferably spine center where according to clinical examination investigation done including X RAY LS spine AP n LATERAL VIEW IN EMPTY STOMACH, MRI SPINE SCREENING, .etc. and accordingly treated (conservatively through traction for2-3 weeks or surgically through decompression with laminectomy) which depends upon neurological examination status n investigations. Till then take analgesic, proton pump initiator, muscle relaxant, vitamins (folate, b12, etc.) avoid bending forward, warm compression and ambulance on log rolling techniques .HOPE THIS WILL HELP.
