Hello,
There is a significant narrowing of your spinal canal (tunnel through which the nerves passes) and thereby causing severe pain.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a neurosurgeon and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
