Hello,
Spine related problems like prolapsed disc must be ruled out. The bulging discs will compress the nerve roots and give rise to the symptoms. If symptoms persists better to consult a spine specialist and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
