Hi,
The symptoms are more likely suggestive of neuropathic causes as in spine related problems.
Consult a neurologist and plan for an MRI scan to rule out conditions like disc prolapse.
As of now, analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol can be taken for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
