Hi, Thanks for your query. You might be having disc prolapse with nerve root compression. The general recommendations for Lumbar spine issues are as follows - - Usually 1-2 days of bed rest will calm severe back pain. Do not stay off your feet for longer - Take rest breaks throughout the day, but avoid sitting for long periods of time. - Avoid lifting heavy weights as it imparts more strain on your back - Change your daily activities so that you avoid movements that can cause further pain, especially bending forward and lifting as it will worsen your back pain - Use a lumbosacral back support to stabilize & strengthen the back musculature - Use analgesics like advil or aleve and muscle relaxants to relieve pain and muscle spasm, as needed. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
