Hello,
Thanks for the concern. You have complaint of lower back pain which was severe. There are many reasons of pain in lower back. May be due to nerve root compression or intervertebral disc prolapse.
For these you should have to take complete bed rest, avoid bearing heavy weights,dont bend forward too much, you can do hot fomentation on back thrice a day, avoid sitting in squatting position. You should take pain killers having serretopeptidase for pain , also you can take combination of mecobolamine and gabapentin for tingling sensation.
Moreover the cause of lower backpain can be better diagnosed after xray of lumber spine in ap and lateral view, ctscan and mri of lumber spine. So better immediately consult your orthopaedic surgeon and start treatment accordingly. Also you should consult physiotherapist and learn exercise for lower back which will help you. Hope this might help you. take care
