Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to a bulging disc in the lumbar vertebral column or an arterial issue. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing a lumbar spine MRI. A Doppler ultrasound of the leg arteries will be needed too.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
