Hello,
Symptoms you refer may indicate spinal cord stenosis. Reasons may be several and include disc bulge, herniated disc disease, spondylolisthesis, etc.
In my opinion, an MRI of your lumbosacral spine is necessary to understand correctly your condition. Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
