Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to nerve compression at lumbar spine level.
For further assessment you may require MRI back, nerve conduction studies after consultation.
Till that you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also help.
You may require tablet Pregabalin after consultation. Continue regular physical therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
