Hello Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that your husband is probably suffering from lumbar disc prolapse. It can be confirmed by MRI scan. There are two treatment options.First option is rest in position of relief(generally lateral position with both hip and knee bend),neurotopics such as mecobalamin and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as tramadol three times a day after meals) is required. Omeperazole before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics .Second option is go for surgical operation(Discectomy). You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don t hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
