Hello,
The symptoms are more likely suggestive of spine-related problems like a prolapsed disc or nerve compression.
As first line management, you can take drugs like gabapentin for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated. You have to get an MRI scan for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
