Brief Answer:
may consider imaging of the back

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

You may want to consider an assessment of the lower back to see if there are any issues with the nerves in this area

The nerves from the lower back would supply the buttocks, the thighs and the legs.
Altered function of the nerves can cause weakness and abnormal sensations such as cold feeling or pain.

Some persons may experience other sensations such as burning pain, sticking or sharp discomfort, tingling etc

An xray or other imaging of the back may be considered

If there are no changes found then you may want to consider a visit to your GP for repeat check up

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
