General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

It may be due to nerve compression at lumbar level.

For that you may require MRI back, nerve conduction studies after spine surgeon consultation.

You may require surgical intervention after surgeon consultation.

Till then you can take tablet pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation.

Continue physical therapy.

Avoid strenuous activity

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