Brief Answer:
I think you are having nerve compression in spine

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case, these symptoms are due to nerve compression in spine. I have following suggestions for you.
1.Please send me your MRI report.
2.Take tablet Pregabalin M at night time.
3.Avoid bending forward, weight lifting and sudden jerking to back. Avoid travelling too much. It increases nerve pressure.
4.Start back muscle strengthening exercises.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
