Hi,
It is due to compression of the nerves by the abnormal spine.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
