Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you are having are likely to be due to a nerve root compression at the level oflumbar spine. You need to get an MRI scan of the area done and consult a neurophysician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
You can search on net about Dr. Brady.
Hope this helps you.
