Answer: I agree with Dr Ronald as regards the the nerve ending compression which possibly could have been due to years of bad posturing following the use of possibly notsocomfortable chairs at work 

As initially suggested a physicians review and physical examination will be most beneficial along with some imaging of the bones in your back and maybe some blood tests too this will allow for a firmer diagnosis and a more accurate plan of management
