Hello,

I have studied your case.

Due to compression of spinal nerve root there can be pain in your thigh and back.
I will advise you to do MRI spine
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication like pregabalin can be started consulting your doctor.
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.
