Brief Answer:
Get tested as advised and take treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
I have gone through your question and x ray reports.
There is no compression at the spinal level by any bone.
You need to get vitamin D levels checked.
If pain and radiation don't improve, then MRI may be required for detecting disc prolapse.
Back extension exercises can be started under the guidance of a physiotherapist.
Pain modulator drug like pregabalin can be started at 50 mg night dosage.
A daily vitamin supplement can be taken (Rejunex CD3).
Avoid stooping forward, lifting heavy objects, sitting in squatting or crossed leg position.
Wishing you good health and early recovery
