Hi,
It seems that you are having compression of a nerve in the back. Get your MRI scan done to confirm the diagnosis. For the purpose of further treatment, you have to visit an orthopedic surgeon.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
