Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have studied your case.

I will advise you to do MRI spine to see for any disc bulge.
And also check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Medication like methylcobalamine and neurotropics like pregabalin will reduce pain which you can start consulting your doctor.
You can do yoga, exercises and focus on spine extension exercises.

Some exercises which can be done include- Spine extension exercises, Lying on your stomach flat lift leg 6 inches from ground, do it for other leg.
Now lift both hand and leg simultaneously, 6 inch off the ground and stay
Position for around 10 breathes. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help.

You may consult physiotherapist for guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.

If not relieved you can take epidural injection.

Hope this helps. Wish you a speedy recovery.
