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
