Thanks for your query.
The symptoms that you are having are likely to be due to a nerve root compression at the level oflumbar spine. You need to get an MRI scan of the area done and consult a neurophysician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
