Hello
Your symptoms may be related to nerve involvement in lumbo-sacral region.
Besides clinical correlation,you may need X-ray and MRI of L/S spine.
MRI is the best investigation to detect inter vertebral disc prolapse,nerve root compression etc.
You may also need routine hemogram,random blood sugar,serum calcium,vitamin D level and thyroid profile.
I suggest to consult neurosurgeon for detail evaluation.
Get well soon.
Take Care
