Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi there.

You seem to be having symptoms of sciatica due to possibly a pinched nerve. Avoid bending forwards, lifting heavy weights. Wear a lumbar belt for support while sitting, standing or walking. Pinched nerve caused commonly by slipped disc usually does not show anything on the X-Ray and requires an MRI scan to show the problem clearly. I advise you to get seen by an Orthopaedician and also get ruled out for Diabetes.
