Hello,

I have studied your case.
Present complain suggest disc pain leading to back pain
Due to compression of this nerve root in spine there is pain in your back.

I will advise you to do MRI spine
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic[pregabalin] medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Rash can be viral so do required blood investigation to confirm it.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Take care.
