Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have studied your case.

I will advise MRI spine to see for any spinal nerve compression leading to back pain.

There can be possibility of lumbar canal stenosis which can be confirmed on MRI.
Medication like methylcobalamine with pregabalin will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.

You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound therapy which is helpful in your case.

I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
