You may be suffering from sciatica, based on your described symptoms. An examination by your physician is in order to determine if this is actually your issue. More info can be found here: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/12792-sciatica

After 6 weeks of such symptoms I think you should consult a neurologist for diagnosis & treatment options. A herniated intervertebral disc in the lower spine is quite possibly the problem. An MRI of the lumbosacral spine will most likely be ordered as part of the assessment.

Usually pain that is pins and needles is nerve pain. In that area it is likely coming from your lower back. If it is worsening you should have somebody evaluate you
