Without examining you it's impossible for us to say.
Most likely it is a pulled muscle.
What did your doctor say? Did he/she put you on muscle relaxers?

Yes she said it was pulled muscle but the pain killers don't work and the pain is getting worse

Time to revisit the doctor then.

Go to a chiropractor for pity's sake! They are infinitely better than MDs for anything involving pinched nerves, back pain, pain down the legs. I and several people I know are first hand accounts of this.

It sounds like you might have injured your disc or pulled a muscle. Disc pain can include radiation down your leg. I would find a manual and manipulative physiotherapist and have them do a clinical exam to tell you what they think. It can range in fee from $75-90. Well worth the disability you are experiencing right now.
