Very possibly: The pattern of pain and sensations you describe are common with a pinched nerve in the lumbar spine, what many laypeople refer to as "sciatica".

Yes It is Related: If the numbness is new, it could mean your sciatica is getting worse. If the numbness doesn't resolve in a few days, I would suggest seeing a spine/pain specialist to discuss your options. If MRI not done, it may be something to consider if numbness persists or increases.
