Brief Answer:
Could be slipped disc or meralgia paresthetica

Detailed Answer:
Hi , I am Dr Gopal Goel ,Orthopedic Surgeon.
with above symptoms , I think you are suffering from either slipped disc at upper lumbar region or Meralgia paresthetica ( pressure on one nerve). I suggest you get MRI of lumbar region and start a combination of pregabalin and methycobalamin.
Thanx for the question. please feel free to ask any other question.
