Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some problem in your lumbo-sacral vertebrae.
If you are elderly then possibility of having some degenerative osteo-artheritis changes in your lumbo-sacral vertebrae giving rise to irritation or pressure of nerves passing through these.
It is not clear from your history that of what part x-ray is taken.
Consult Orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Do back extension exercise.
Ok and take care.
