Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are mostly having unstable vertebral column due to osteoporosis which is causing nerve compression.
Following are the conservative steps for this.
1. Start calcium and vitamin D3 supplements.
2. Avoid movements like bending. Don't sit on floor. Don't sit with crossed legs.
3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
4. Sit with proper back support. Always wear lumber belt.
5. Don't drive two wheelers. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Sleep on ortho bed (hard flat surface).
6. Take combination of pain killer and muscle relaxant drug.
Try all these for 1-2 weeks. If you are improving then continue same. But if you are not improving then surgical treatment like fixation of spine is needed.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
