Hi,
According to me back pain with heaviness after walking and numbness symptoms are of spinal stenosis. First it need to be confirmed weather heaviness is due to neurologic origin or vascular origin. It is better to do an MRI (spine) and consult a spine surgeon and start treatment.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
