Hello,
The symptoms are consistent with spine related causes like a prolapsed disc or nerve compression.
As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a neurosurgeon and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
