Lower back pain mostly on one side causing pain in hip?

So I’ve been having back issues over the course of the last month and a half. Ik ik I should’ve probably gone to the doctor but now but the issue has been weird it has gotten better then it’ll get worse again but then it’ll get better and then worse again. So either I’m doing something to make the issue worse once it starts getting better or something else is happening. Original the pain was in my lower back on my right and left side, it’s a weird feeling cause the pain was radiating from my back to my groin around my inner thighs specifically when I got sexually aroused which is weird. Anyway I felt a pop on my inner left though and the back pain on that’s side nearly went away entirely so then I tried to replicate that for the right side to no luck and that side kept getting worse. I’m trying to reversal the feeling I eventually popped both side and things got a lot better but not completely. I tried massaging and stretch and that made things bad again no my backs back to were I started only now the pain is more so shooting into my hip bones. What is causing this my best guess is a herniated disc but I’m not sure and is this something I can means at home at all or is it time to just bite the bullet and go see the doc. I e been avoiding it cause it’s gonna cost me since I’ve got no heraldry currently and I really don’t need the bills rn. But the shooting on and off pain in my hips is what’s concerning me.
