Hi,
From your history it seems that you are having Sciatica pain.
Due to age there might be having osteo-artheritis in your vertebral column giving rise to irritation or pressure on the nerves giving rise to this problem.
Go for x-ray lumbo-sacral region and confirm the diagnosis.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined and got for treatment and physiotherapy.
Take calcium. vitamin A, D supplements.
Ok and take care.
