It can be a nerve compression in the spine . so I would suggest you to show it to a doctor and get your spine x ray to confirm the diagnosis. Also I would suggest you to take Pregabalin and Methylcobal tablet for symtomatic relief. You have not mentioned if there is skin lesions are also present on the skin because some time herpes zoster infection is also present in this mannner,
