Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I have studied your case and I think that you are having lumbar spondylitis. It is causing disc herniation in the back and compressing nerves. I would recommend you to get MRI of the spine to confirm the diagnosis. If there is nerve compression then it will need back muscle strengthening exercises.
I would also suggest you to take Pregabalin and methylcobal tablet for pain relief.
Avoid lifting heavy weight and forward bending.
If your pain continues then you might need discectomy. This can be done through microscopic discectomy.
