Hello,

Your symptoms could be related a disc herniation in the lumbar spine. For this reason, I recommend performing a lumbar spine MRI in order to examine better your vertebral column and your nerves.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
