Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
These symptoms are suggestive of compressive neuropathy due to herniated disc in spine or vertebral degeneration. So you need to do MRI scan first to rule this out and then start with physical therapy and in severe cases surgery may be the only option.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
