Dear friend ...
Welcome to Healthcare Magic

I read your concern and it seems like sciatica which iritates nerves and causing pain and feeling of getting paralysed like sensation ..
There is nothing to worry ... You can do Spinal Xray or CT imaging studies to know underlying causative factors involved in triggering pain sensation .

I would suggest you to have hot compression at site of pain and NSAIDS will help to ease pain .
Regular mild exercise and correct posture during sleeping / sitting will prevent furthur episode of pain.

You can ask to me if you have more queries...
Regards
