Hello,
As a first line of management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a neurosurgeon and plan for surgical correction.
You can also opt for steroid injection to the back.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
