Brief Answer:
you need to get MRI of the spine
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for replying. Your symptoms are mostly due to spine problem. I would recommend you to get MRI of the spine to see how much nerve compression is present. If it is more than fifty percent then you might need surgical intervention.
If it is less then fifty percent then you can start taking Pregabalin and methyl cobal daily. This will improve your nethe strength. Smoking should be discontinued.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
