Hi,



You can use Tablet Dan MR 12 hourly for pain relief.

Apply hot compression over back area from where pain radiates.

Steroids shots can give temporary relief in such condition.



I advice you to consult neurosurgeon to get proper examination and evaluation of exact cause. CT spine would be advisable to evaluate spinal pathology.



Hope I have answered your query.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
