Hi
Dont worry avoid sitting on hard surface.
Have complete bed rest, followed by ice application and lumbar traction. Along with this if you are not a diabetic patient then short course of steroid in tapering dose will surely help you. Avoid weight lifting and forward bending.
Thank you
Get well soon.
