Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you! Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic HCM. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns. Such injuries usually are treated after some diagnostic tests and Neurosurgeons handle such issues and sometimes may be a need for surgical correction. But as you don t have an insurance, I am bound to symptomatic treatment options to relieve pain effectively. Apply Lumbosacral corset for support of the Lumbar region and help for pain relief. Apply Bengay ultrastretch ointment and massage gently. Then apply ThermaCare HeatWrap around the lumbar area. It will help you get relief from pain. Take Fioricet with codeine for prompt relief of extreme and unbearable pain. Otherwise take only Tylenol for pain. Take a polyvitamin with essential minerals in it daily. For patients with such issues Physical Therapy works best as an alternative treatment therapy. It is effective in relieving pain and increases ease in mobility. Hope I answered all of your questions.
