Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It looks more of problem in the back (lumbar vertebrae), I would suggest you to go for a CT scan to look for any displacements or compression of nerves/herniation of nerves. Treatment can be planned on that, most of the times its symptomatic treatment unless it has hampered your daily activities.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
