Brief Answer:
Possible spine compression

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concern. The symptoms you are describing are not something to be taken lightly. Symptoms like these can be caused by spine compression due to a herniated disc or a mass. The nerves affected in the areas you mention reinforce my suspicion.
So please see a doctor at your earliest convenience. You need an MRI of the lumbar and pelvic region in order to determine or rule out a possibly serious problem.

I hope this helps.
You're welcome to ask further questions.
Wishing you all the best.
