You may have: SPINAL STENOSIS (depending upon your age which is not stated with your question! This is a narrowing of your spinal canal due to degenerative arthritis of the lumbosacral spine! Check this possibility out with your PCP...BTW if you are under 40 years of age get a Gynecological check up!
