General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello, what is your age? Have you had Xray or MRI of your Spine? That would be able to tell whether there is any nerve compression at the lumbar spine and whether there are any prolapsing discs. These can be treated. Even if these findings are not there you could approach a Pain clinic or an anaesthesiologist who deals with pain management. They can give you spinal injections which get the pain in control pretty well.
Do not worry. You could share the reports with us by asking a Specialist query and we could advice you the optimal treatment strategy.
Take care,
Dr Rishi, New Delhi, India.
