Thanks for writing to Healthcare magic,

I have studied your case,
According your symptoms probability of systemic disease,like anaemia,dehydration,or psychiatric illness,or there can be lumbar disc compressing spinal cord leading to pain.
You may need to investigate in form of complete blood count,sr electrolyte, Xray lumbar spine and if required MRI spine.
Check your vit D3 and vit B12 level also.
