hallo dear friend ,thanks for writing to HCM
i have studied your case
this is you first episode or repeatedly having same problem
is there any weakness in your lower limb or upper limb?
lumbar disc prolapse leads to sudden pain
acute muscular sprain due to heavy lifting weight,
spondylolysthesis can lead to same picture
you need methylcobalamine , muscle relaxant with analgesic
take rest , , hot or cold fomentation
avoid lifting weights
sit with taking support to your back
continue spine extension exersizes
physiotherapy - SWD ,IFT WILL HELP
if pain doesnt relieve then you need spinal decompression surgery
for lumbar vertebrae ,
for further query contact drvaibhavg@yahoo.com
