Hello,

It may be due to herniated disc.

For further assessment you may require MRI back, nerve conduction studies after spine surgeon consultation.

You may require surgical intervention after surgeon consultation.

Till then you can take tablet pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation.

Continue physical therapy.

Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
