Hello and Welcome to Chat Doctor, Thanks for writing to us. The symptoms that you are having are likely to be due to a nerve root compression at the level of lumbar spine(L5). You need to get an MRI scan of the area done and consult an orthopaedician for proper diagnosis and treatment. Hope this helps you. Wishing you good health... Regards.  Chat Doctor. Orthopedic Surgeon.
