I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book if you suffer from any kind of chronic pain. Even if your doctor has pronounced judgement that he/she knows what’s causing things, try this book. As the author says, trigger point therapy should be the first course of treatment: it’s easy and cheap.

It is very possible to have referred pain to your groin and abdomen from a herniated disc at this level in your spine. Although the L5 nerve root innervates your butt, lower leg, and foot along with S1. It is possible that you have another herniated disc above L5-S1.
If you sneeze or cough and that reproduces your symptoms, that is related to your back for sure.
Be sure to have a thorough neurological exam to assess your sensation, muscle function, and reflexes.
