Detailed Answer:
Hello, thanks for your health concerns.Welcome to HealthcareMagic. I have gone through your question,in my opinion you are suffering from spondylosis and you can go for x ray DL spine lat view,till than you can take muscle relaxant like thiocolchicoside along with pain killer like aceclofanac and do physiotherapy under the supervision of physiotherapist and you will get relief.
If you have any other questions than you can ask on follow up.
Thanks.Your Dr Praveen Tayal.
