Suggest Medications For Lower Back Pain

I have tingling in my feet lately and pain in my lower back, at least twice a day while I am walking with the pain in my back and tingling in my feet. It started out slowly and has lately begun to get worse to the point that I even fall down when it happnes. Sometimes I get very dizzy with it too. Then if I sit down for a while it will go away. This begun to happen daily. Do you have any idea what it could be or if I need to see a Dr and if so what kind of Dr. Thank you.

It could be neurogenic claudication. It happens when you have spinal canal stenosis. It could be due to disc prolapse, due to degenerative changes, ligamentum flavum hypertrophy etc. Diagnosis can be confirmed on MRI spine. You should consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon for the same.
