Hello,
It may be due to nerve compression at the lumbar spine.
For further assessment, you may require MRI back and nerve conduction studies after consultation.
For pain, you can take tablet acetaminophen and multivitamin tablets.
You may require tablet Pregabalin after consultation.
Do regular physical therapy.
Avoid forward bending.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
