General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Yes, You might have degenerative osteoarthritis of your spine together with degenerative intervertebral disc prolapse compressing your right lumbosacral nerve roots. You should undergo a clinical examination by a neurologist, and do an MRI of lumbosacral spine to confirm diagnosis and start the appropriate treatment.
