Yes these symptoms are consistent with your description. You are also very young to have developed such a condition. Has ia cause ever been given? Sometimes a limb length difference or a pelvic rotation can present such a condition. Which is treated by a podiatrist with biomechanics provide custom orthotics to provide better function and less pathology.

I too would agree that what is occurring might well be all due to the low back pathology. An EMG/ NCS could elucidate specific nerve root involvement which might lead to management intervention. Also, you might consider testing for ankylosing spondylitis if not previously done.
