Thanks for your question. I do understand your pain and discomfort. I have seen many cases with similar complaints. Please find my advice below-:1)Before proceeding to treatment first we have to find the reason behind muscle weakness and lower back pain so do a neurological examination to see whether any neuro deficit is present or not and do a MRI scan
