Hello,
It is typical of lumbar stenosis. The stenosis or compression of the lumbar canal can cause compression of nerve roots and can cause symptoms.
Consult a spine surgeon and get evaluated. Drugs like gabapentin will be effective. In severe cases steroid injection may be tried.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
