Hello,
A detailed clinical examination would help pinpoint cause of the above mentioned symptoms.
With available information,I think it could be spine condition where a nerve root/s might be affected while forward bending secondary to disc prolapse.
However,exact cause could be established only after clinical examination and further investigations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
