Hello,
It looks from your details that your present pain at back and radiation to hip is most probably due to compression of nerves due to prolapse disc.You should do following to have relief in this:
1. Continue to have analgesic as advised to you
2. Start using a lumbo sacral belt. This will help in preventing abnormal movements at your back
3. Apply an analgesic ointment locally and do warm water fomentation in a water bag
4. Take rest
5. Ask for intermittent traction therapy from your physiotherapist
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
