Hi, thanks for writing to HCM. All your symptoms in the description suggests Lumbar radiculopathy possibly due to a protruded intervertebral disc compressing the exiting nerve. I suggest you to undergo MRI scan of Lumbosacral spine to exactly diagnose the condition. The initial conservative line of management for the condition is as follows * avoid lifting heavy weights as it imparts more strain on your back * avoid forward bending activities as it will worsen the disc protrusion * Use a lumbosacral back support to augment your spinal muscles * Intermittent pelvic traction may help to cause a regression of disc * Maintain optimum body weight,if you are obese * Physiotherapy to strengthen your back muscles. Physiotherapy has to be done only after the acute pain has subsided. * Judicious use of analgesics, muscle relaxants and neurotropic drugs like Pregabalin / Methyl cobalamine will alleviate the symptoms If your symptoms are not resolving with the above measures, consult an orthopedic / spine surgeon for further management. Hope this information is helpful. Good day
