As due to lumbar radiculopathy there might be some soft tissue injury at the spinal nerve level leading to disturbed sensation to the dermatomes and motors the nerve supplies. As there is the loss of sensation and pain in the lower limbs I think MRI is a must to figure out at which level what is going wrong with the soft tissue.
