Hi balaji ,
You are suffering from low back pain with radiculopathy probably due to posterior inter vertebral disc prolaps and requires your neurological status and clinical evaluation with investigations hence visit orthopaedics hospital preferably specialist in spine management . There is no point in refusing surgery in these condition if your orthopaedition suggests you for it ( otherwise once permanent neurological damage occurs then prognosis is poor).
So in my opinion visit orthopaedics hospital & Till then
1) avoid bending forward strictly (with rest)
2) warm compression
3) regular physiotherapy (posterior spinal exercise )
4) Tab methylcobalamine once a day
5) Analgesic (NSAID), muscle relaxant with proton pump inhibitor for pain for a week and then as and when required .
HOPE THIS WILL HELP
THANKS AND REGARDS
