Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms that you are having are likely to be due to a
nerve root compression at spine. You need to get an
MRI scan of the area done and consult a neurophysician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Meanwhile you can follow these measures:
- If the pain is severe, you need
bed rest till the pain resolves.
- Get some analgesics prescribed and apply analgesic spray or
ointments.
- While resting, keep a pillow under your knees if it doesn't bother you.
- Avoid lifting heavy objects.
- Back strengthening exercises and stretching exercises daily as advised by a Physiotherapist.
- Avoid exercises in times of pain.
- Improvise your posture while sitting.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
