Hello,
Thanks for your query.

The symptoms that you are having are likely to be due to a nerve root compression at spine. You need to get an MRI scan of the area done and consult a neurophysician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
The initial management for this problem is conservative by following means :
- Bed rest
- analgesics and ocassional muscle relaxants
- Methylcobalamine preparations which helps to alleviate your "pins & needles" sensations
- Back support while sitting for longer periods


I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
