General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Most probably it is due to spine related problems like a prolapsed disc or nerve compression.

As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.

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