General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and thanks for the query
As per your detail it seems that you have PIVD (Prolapse Inter vertebral Disc) of the spine. Complete bed rest is the best treatment in worse condition as you are. Get your X-ray lumber spine done and even MRI to know about the nerve compression. The best treatment can be planned under the guidance of spine surgery. Spine surgeon is the best person to take decision whether treatment needs surgery or symptomatic treatment by medications, life style changes and physiotherapy.
So wait for the reports and let your treating doctor take decision for the treatment. Till than take complete bed rest.
Best Wishes
