Hello,
Symptoms are related to nerve root compression at lumbosacral spinal canal levels. You are requested to get MRI of lower lumbosacral spine region which will confirm the diagnosis and will help you figure out the management plan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
