MRI scan required

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about pain while sitting.

Such pain is generally seen when you have vertebral bone compression on nerve causing pain in particular position like sitting.

you need to get an MRI scan of your back to confirm the same. Please see a neurologist with MRI scan report.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
