Hi,
The symptoms are highly suggestive of possible lumbar radiculopathy with neurogenic claudication.
I suggest testing MRI LS spine. I think you will detect that one of your nerves is getting compressed in the bones of the back.
In such a case you will need to go for good physiotherapy. Medication like Pregabalin at bedtime will be of help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
