Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

I think you are developing the symptoms of lumbar spondylosis. The person has severe backache and often associated problem in the legs - like weakness, or pain, or simply tingling and numbness (these latter symptoms are not always present).

I would suggest an MRI of LS spine, and if indeed this is the condition you are facing, a prescription of pregabalin, methylcobalamin and regular physiotherapy may be needed

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
Best of luck.
