Brief Answer:
Probably degerative disc disease.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Symptoms you describe are typically encountered in conditions such degerative disc disease of the lumbar column, more specifically at L3-L4 level.

It is necessary to get evaluated by a spine Specialist and by imaging studies such x-rays and MRI of the lumbar spine.

If diagnosis is confirmed, NSAID drugs use and physical therapy are among first treatment strategies.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Kind regards.
