Hello,

Pain is caused by nerve compression by a deformed spine.

As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult a neurosurgeon and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
