Hello, Thanks for your query.
Low backache looks like a positional anomaly. The low back ache is a result of muscle spasm which in itself is a protective mechanism body develops so that the back avoids abnormal posture. You can take these drug to relieve the pain and spasm after consulting your doctor. I suggest you to try back strengthening exercises by extension of the back muscles which can be taught by your Orthopedician or Physiotherapist. This will help to relieve the possible muscle spasm which causes the pain.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Wishing you speedy recovery.. Take care

Symptoms can be managed with Exercise and Physical Therapy, Pain Medications, Taking steroid injections.You can take the same medcations but they have side effect of liver and renal toxicity.so you need follow up. However, if the disc protrusion or disc bulge does not improve with physiotherapy, surgery may be required. Please discuss the treatment options with a neurologist. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
