There are multiple possibilities for the symptoms that you're facing. There's a possibility of a prolapsed disc or Vitamin B12 deficiency, etc. I would advise you to meet an orthopedist so that you can be examined and undergo the necessary investigations such as MRI(if indicated), thyroid profile, vitamin b12, vitamin d, etc to find the underlying cause and have it treated accordingly.
