Hi,
From history it seems that you are having pressure symptoms on nerves giving rise this problem.
If there is more problem or risk of having nerve injury is likely, go for surgery.
Consult Neuro surgeon and take his opinion.
Physiotherapy, lumbar traction and short way diathermy will be helpful.
Avoid weight lifting, and bending forward.
Ok and take care.
