Brief Answer:
May be due to nerve compression.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I appreciate your concerns.
As you have said all your reports were normal, I wish to review those reports. Can you upload them?

These type of symptoms are frequently associated with disc related causes. Another common cause is compression of the sciatic nerve due to prolonged sitting. I might be able to comment further after reviewing reports.

In the meanwhile you need to change your sitting posture frequently. Don't seat for a long period.

Hope this will help you.
Regards.
