Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a bulging disc in the lumbar column or chronic degeneration of vertebral column. The fused sixth lumbar vertebra can contribute in this clinical situation. Coming to this point, I would recommend performing a lumbar spine MRI study. In the meantime, physiotherapy can help improve your situation. Other treatment options would be Pregabalin or Gabapentin.

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