Hello,
What I can infer from your complaints is that you may be suffering from lumbar disc prolapse with pinched lumbar nerves.
I would suggest you to undergo physiotherapy sessions which include muscle stretching and strengthening exercises. If no relief, then you can get an MRI scan after consultation with your physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
