Thank-you user for your query.
I understand your concern.
As per your history it seems that you are having cord compression. Kindly get an X-ray done both AP view as well as lateral view.Start taking Vitamin D3 60,000IU once weekly along with 1500mcg methylcobalamin daily. For local releuef of pain you can apply any analgesic ointment and even can take diclofenac potassium for pain. Consult any neurologist for your pain and till then avoid forward or backward bending as this will aggrevate your pain.
god bless
