Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
U seem to have compressed a nerve in the back somewhere that might be causing radiating pain in those regions.Possibility of a lumbar disc prolapse should be kept in mind.
I suggest you get an Xray as well as an MRI to find out the exact cause
3rd discs generally heal properly if treated apropriately.
Physiotherapy,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs should help.
Nothing to worry about.
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
