Dear friend,

After reading your complaints, I feel that you should get an x-ray dorsolumbar spine done in AP (Anteroposterior) and Lateral positions to rule out spinal deformity.

For pain, radiating to lower limbs I think you should get NCV (Nerve Conduction Velocity) test in lower limbs. Apart from these, you should get ESR, RA FACTOR, and CRP tests done in your blood.

If all these tests are normal then probably these are muscular pains and you are under stress of some sort. Physiotherapy and mental relaxation tips can help.

Hope this helps you. Do let me know if you have more concerns.

Regards
