Your symptoms are suggestive of a pinched nerve in this region. For this reason, I recommend performing a lumbar spine X-ray study and nerve conduction tests. You should discuss with your doctor on this test.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
