Hello,
This looks like there is a muscle spasm in the lower back leading to nerve root entrapment. Kindly take good bed rest so the stress on the muscles come down. Use hot water fermentation as well for the lower back.
Try some simple core stability exercise and spinal muscle strengthening exercises. This should stop the numbness and improve your spinal stability.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
