Brief Answer:
As explained below.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I have gone through the details. I would suggest you get an MRI lumbar spine with whole spine screening to rule out the causes such as sciatica or metastasis etc. It is better to visit an orthopedic spine surgeon for further examination and treatment.

I hope this answered your query.
