Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your condition needs proper clinical examination,history,and X-rays.
X-ray of lumbar spine AP/Lateral view should be taken.
MRI of lumbar spine can be done to depict the status of nerve involvement.
There may be chance of Lumbar disc prolapse. It is generally associated with tingling sensation and numbness, but isolated pain may be the presentation.
So,get examined by a neurologist.
Take Care
