thank you for the question.Epidurals may be tried 2-3 shots .If it doesnt relieve then discetomy surgery may be required.In meantime see a physical therapist and try lumbar traction for 10 days, wear a lumbo-sacral brace for support.take loraxone 500 mg BD and Dolo-neurobion Od after meals to relieve spasms.hot fomentation and diathermy would also help
