Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic.After going through your query I think your You are suffering from lumbar sponylosis with degenerative spine.Rest in position of relief, Cartisafe D once daily,NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief.Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can aggravate this so serum vitamin D test is advised if it is low than vitamin D supplementation will be required.You may be further investigated by MRI and operation may be required. I think your query answered.Welcome to any follow up query
