Hello,
This is radicular pain due to compression of the nerve roots at the spine. This may be due to intervertebral disc prolapse.
In this condition I would advice my patient to undergo an MRI of the spine and arrive at a diagnosis.
The treatment approach is rest, back muscle strengthening exercises, braces to strengthen the muscles.
Tractions of the spine, Analgesic and multivitamins for neurological pain.
