Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
From your description it seems that you are having a nerve root compression at the level of lumbar spine may be due to a disc herniation or a muscle spasm in the hip area. An MRI of the spine will help in confirmation of the diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
