This should be due to the sciatic nerve compression in the right side probably close to your l5 vertebrae. It can also be due to the strain on the left leg, try wearing mcr chappals which would help you to get relieved from pain. And there are 5 lumbar vertebrae and the 5th lumbar vertebrae is always is located in the lower end where the body weight is taken and it is generally fused with sacral vertebrae. That is where the sciatic nerve passes by and the nerve gets compressed that's the reason you have pain and sensation is disturbed.
