Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I think you are having disc prolapse and because of this nerve compression is present and it is causing pain in the back. I would recommend you to get MRI of the spine and see how much nerve compression is present. According to that we can plan further management. if disc is in early stage then I would suggest you to get physiotherapy and If it is very severe then you will need endoscopy disc surgery. in which disc will be removed and it will need complete removal of the disc.
