Brief Answer:
Vertebral traction may help.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone elaborately through your query and understand your concerns. I have also checked the attached MRI report. It indicates loss of lumbar lordosis as well as mild disc bulge. Both of these are causing compression on the spinal cord and hence the pain. The medicines seem proper and you should continue taking them. The exercises are very crucial and are important even more than the medicines. However, ultrasonotherapy (available with physical therapists) and vertebral traction should provide relief. I am not a homeopathic physician and hence cannot comment on the possible side effects but I see neither any harm, nor any benefit, in using them.
I would insist you to discuss about the options of vertebral traction with your orthopedician. I hope that would suffice and you would not need neurosurgical interventions.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.
For weight gain to occur, the amount of energy taken in as food has to be greater than the total energy consumption. Vitamin tablets hardly have any energy value and hence do not contribute to your gaining weight.
Take Clopam only if necessary (not regularly). It is a medicine that develops tolerance. So, the dose that is effective now, would not be effective anymore in the future and higher doses would be necessary.
As I mentioned, physical therapy, exercises and vertebral tractions are the things needed for your pain relief.
The problem may worsen in the winter unless appropriate steps are taken.
The recommendation for surgery will only come after traction has been tried and has been found not to be effective.

1. No specific precautions other than to keep yourself warm and comfortable.
2. No specific suggestions related to travelling but whenever you travel, try to keep your back straight and in full support of the backrest.
3. Juicy fruits are rich source of potassium and can help in reducing the leg pain. Use hot compress. If even that does not help, try taking paracetamol 1g per dose and see if it helps.
