Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic.After going through your query I think you are suffering from spinal stenosis with compressive symptoms.Rest in position of relief, Cartisafe D once daily,NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief. But your symptoms are more severe. You may be further investigated by MRI and operation may be required. I think your query answered.Welcome to any follow up query
