Brief Answer:
Get examined by a neurologist and get investigated
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
The symptoms described by you are of lumbosacral radiculopathy caused by compression of nerve roots in spinal canal area.
The most common cause is disc disease but other causes can cause such presentation.
Mri of lumbar spine is required for diagnosis.
Physiotherapy under guidance should be done to improve the back muscles strength.
Pain killers and muscle relaxant like aceclofenac or diclofenac with tizanidine or thiocholchicoside can be taken for relief for few weeks.
Pain modulator drugs like pregabalin or amitriptyline or gabapentin can be added and increased gradually according to response.
Examination by a neurologist is required.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
