Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
The description of pain seems to be a neuralgic pain, which could be due to a pinched nerve in the lower back region.
The diagnosis can be confirmed by doing MRI scan of the limbo-sacral spine.
Initial treatment consists of using medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin capsules.
You should consult a neurologist for management.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
