Hi Theerickstur, Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum.
Do you have backache? What is your Height and weight? Your History suggests you have a Prolapsed disc or Disc bulge which is causing nerve compression of the nerves coming out from the spinal cord leading to numbness and Pruritus. Kindle get a X ray done of your Lower back spine after consulting a Orthopedist and get yourself examined thoroughly. Give yourself some rest and if you smoke, quit.
Wish you Good Health.
