Hello,
Your symptoms could be suggestive of sciatic nerve compression, probably related to a bulging disc in the lumbar vertebral column. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing a lumbar spine CT scan or MRI.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
