Brief Answer:
Possibly related to nerve compression

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXX,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. These are suggestive of nerve compression in the lumbar region (lower back). These nerves supply sensations and strength to the leg nerves.

The diagnosis can be confirmed by doing MRI scan of lumbo-sacral spine.

As of now, you can start treatment with pregabalin capsules for relief from nerve-related pain.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
