Hello,
Most probably it is due to spine related problems like a prolapsed disc or nerve compression. As of now, you can take analgesics like tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
