Hello Ali,
Welcome at HCM.

I have read your query.

It looks from your details that you may be having problem of spinal canal stenosis.In this condition there is narrowing of holes from where nerves exit from spine.

At early stages physiotherapy may be helpful but in late stages you may need surgery.So keep in touch to your doctor.

Hope this will help you.

With best wishes.
