Brief Answer:
Likely to be due to lumbar spondylosis.

Detailed Answer:

Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. I think you are having lumbar spondylosis with compressive myelopathy. It can be confirmed by MRI of lumbar spine. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is helpful in pain relief. Glucosamine is helpful as it reduces progression of degenerative changes and to some extent heal them. Neurotropic agents such as Mecobalamine are helpful in neuralgic pain. Once pain reduces then back excercises will be of use.
You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
