Hello,
Welcome to HCM. I figured your concern.It seems you have osteoartritis and radicular pain.It is most frequently caused by nerve compression by a herniated disc.MRI spinal cord will help to determine whether pain location related to the specific lumbar disc level.
Other cause can be relate to infectins of rectum(proctitis,paraproctitis)
Diclofenac potassium 50 mg 1 tablet 2 times will give you relief, use diclofenac gel for local therapy.
Visit your doctor and get you examined.
Take care!
