General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Most probably it will be a spine-related problem like a prolapsed disc or nerve compression. As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. You can consult an orthopedic and plan for an MRI scan to make a diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
