Hello user,
I think, your doctor is diagnosing it as Sciatica !
It is due to compression of nerves in back, causing sensory and motor loss according to degree of compression.
To confirm the diagnosis, you are advised to have a CT scan/MRI of the lumbar region to rule out inter-vertebral disc compression.
Hope my advise helpd you.
