Hi,
I have read your query.
First you need to have x-ray lumbosacral spine in AP and Lateral ,then send us report till the apply hot packs for 30 mins in morning and evening . You can take painkilers+muscle relaxants by discussing it with your doctor .
Avoid heavy weight lifting e.g lifting bucket of water.
MRI scan is need only if pain is severe and sensory deficit is present.
