Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can go for X-ray of lower back site if there is any compression of the vertebra, you can do CT of affect site. Take Tramadol and paracetamol combination 2 times a day for five days take Omeprazole twice a day.
