Brief Answer:
Get yourself clinically examined and investigated.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you might be having Sciatica.
But I would advise that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated.

Following investigations may be helpful :-
1. Blood sugar levels.
2. Serum Calcium.
3. Vitamin D3 levels.
4. MRI of Lumbosacral region.

I would advise that in addition to the medicines you are taking, you should take Methylcobalamin.

A clinical evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon will help in planning further medical management.

I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
