Brief Answer:
Slip disc, Electrolyte disturbance
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Thanks for the query.
This could be due to slip disc in the lumbosacral spine. It is advisable to get Xray and MRI of your lumbosacral spine.
Avoid bending forwards or lifting weights. You can take Tablet Levocarnitine 100mg twice a day for a month. Drink a glass of Lemonade daily to maintain good Electrolyte balance. Drink 1.5 litres of water daily.
Get tested for your blood calcium, phosphorus levels as well.
You can also take Tablet Pregabalin 75mg at night for a month for the electric feeling.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
