As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a neurosurgeon and get evaluated. In severe cases, you might require steroid injection to the spine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
