Brief Answer:
Mecobalamine and analgesic are of help.

Detailed Answer:

Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Looking to your age it seems lumbar spondylosis ( age related degeneration of spine) is causing pressure on nerves leading to numbness and shooting pains. It can be seen by MRI of lumbar spine. Mecobalamine is helpful as it is neurogenic pain. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief.
You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
