Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I think that you are having acute disc prolapse. Treatment of it is rest in the position of lateral position with both hips and knee in flexion.Severe pain can be likely to be due to it. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. If pain is not relieved by it you can use tramadol for pain relief. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered.
