Hi, The pain can be managed with pain medications like Tylenol, Advil initially. But a comprehensive plan would be to lose weight through exercise and strengthening of back muscles. You will need to see a physical therapist initially and avoid lifting heavy weights. If it still hasn't helped I suggest you see a spine specialist and get a MRI done of your back. Depending on the findings appropriate steps can be taken.
