Yes: People with lower back pain can sometimes experience the type of symptoms you are describing, caused by structural irritation of the nerve at the root ("radiculopathy") from herniated disks or spinal stenosis. When someone has these symptoms without back pain, other causes should be considered, including viral meningitis and radiculitis. These tend to improve with time but should be evaluated.
