Hello,

Most probably it will be a spine-related problem like a prolapsed disc or nerve compression.
As first-line management, you can take drugs like gabapentin for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
