Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi welcome to health care magic . After going through your query I think there is prolapse disc. You need radiograph and mri of spine to diagnose prolapse disc. You require strict bed rest for some days, hot fomentation, analgesics, and spinal brace support if pain severe enough. Hope your query has been answered. Thanks.
