Brief Answer:
need MRI

Detailed Answer:
Hi
as per your history, it seem that you have nerve compression at your lower back. This is common in your age group.
I advice you to go for MRI LUMBER SPINE as soon as possible. Xray and other test might not be beneficial in your case.
If mri showing compression than proper physiotherapy and some medicine like pregabalin may help.

Hope this will help

take care and avoid heavy weight lifting and sudden jerks.
