Hello,
It is difficult to comment on the exact cause of the problem until the examination is done.
The possibility of sacroiliac joint inflammation or herniation of disc with radiculopathy or compressive myelopathy or anaemia etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet pregabalin 75 mg once daily for five days. get it done MRI spine with an x-ray of pelvic joint ap view.
Physical therapy and exercise may useful. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
