Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent back pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like discs injury , sciatica , spinal stenosis , arthritis or spondylitis . In your case it seems to me that the symptoms are due to injury and as you said that there is nerve compression . I would suggest you to to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan , MRI or physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and vitamin supplement for quick recovery . Doctor may also recommend physical therapy , which will be very effective .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
