Lower back pain
I am facing back pain in the lower portion of my back. And I am pretty sure this is not something in bones as because what I am feeling is.. its either in muscle or probably on nerves. Precisely pain area is near my side belly and near my backbone. Bending is a problem but not that much. I can bend easily but not with that ease as I used to be I mean I feel some sort of pain.
The pain feels like as such as when we have some nerve twist in winter season.
I am a type 2 diabetic and the pain is persistent from last 2 months.
I would like to know which specialized doctor should I go to? Orthopedic or Neurologist

Meet an orthopaedic surgeon first and if needed can be referred to a neurologist from there if the orthopaedician thinks you need a neurologist opinion

The pain and stiffness may be due to muscle or due to disc prolapse.
You should visit an orthopedic doctor for further examination .
Till then try using otc pain meds and hot packs. Avoid forward bending and lifting of heavy weight
