Brief Answer:
I advise blood test like CRP, ACCP, complete blood count, Uric acid, HLAB 2

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have studied your case and seen reports.

Your MRI doesn’t show much abnormality. But your ESR is raised. You need further investigation to find reason for raised ESR.
When such patients come to our hospital I advise them blood test like CRP, ACCP, complete blood count, Uric acid, HLA B27.

Pain can be due to arthritis which will be confirmed by blood reports.

Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.

Some exercises which can be done
Extension exercises, lying on your stomach flat lift leg 6 inches from ground, do it for other leg.
Now lift both hand and leg simultaneously, 6 inch off the ground and stay
Position for around 10 breathes. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help.

You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.

Some life style modifications to prevent pain– Take break every 40 min from computer/office work and do some lumbar rotation, stretches, walk and get back to work. Sit with taking support to your back, and do not watch television constantly.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this helps. Wish you a speedy recovery.

Take care
