Dear Patient,
Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern
I went through your query, and I feel, the pain you are feeling has spinal origin, and probably you are suffering from slip disc problem which we call as prolapsed disc.
What you need is a proper examination and an MRI scan to see if the compression of the disc is sever enough to go for surgery or measures like rest and medication can help.
I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
Thanks
