Hi,
The symptoms are more likely to suggest the possibility of spine-related conditions like disc prolapse.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. An MRI scan will be required for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
