It may be due to disc bulge - compressing nerve root. Some of the symptoms might be due to vitamin b12 deficiency. You need physio IFT and USG massage. Consult orthopaedic dr. Might need MRI scan. Take vitamin b12. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration because dehydrated disc is more prone to injury or buldge. Do back muscle strengthening exercises once pain settles.
