Hello,

Lower back pain with lower limb tingling and numbness at your young age most likely reason is disc prolapse with nerve root compression.

Diagnosis can be confirmed by MRI of the lumbo-sacral spine with screening of whole spine which is highly sensitive and specific for back pathology.

Please get it done from radiology centre nearby you. Meanwhile, start tablet Pregalin once at bedtime.

Your headache and other symptoms cannot be explained by back pathology. You can consult physician for them. I would advise visit to orthopedic spine specialist with report.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jayesh Vaza
