Hi,

It seems you have some pressure on your sciatic nerve while hip joint movement. Please consult an orthopedic doctor for a specific result (physiotherapy, vitamin B12 and pain medicine SOS.

Though you can go for back surgery to treat your back pain at a certain level. You may get it at another site over the time. So, to have a spine friendly lifestyle is a must.
