Hello,
Your symptoms could be suggestive of a compression of sciatic nerve. For this reason, I recommend performing a lumbar spine MRI in order to investigate on the possible causes. In the meantime, I recommend taking Pregabalin or duloxetine for the pain. You should discuss with your doctor on the above treatment options.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
