Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

It appears to be case of disc herniation that leads to root compression ultimately resulting in pain. Muscle spasm is a condition and not a pathology. All you need to do is to rest, avoid forward bending and weight lifting. Do warm saline fomentation,and have some over the counter painkillers for 3-5 days. If the pain not relieved in a week you need to get an MRI done, to evaluate your condition further.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
