you can try by pain management
muscle relextants
physiotherapuy and relaxation exercises can be used to help
but you must consult ortho or nerourgeon to find the extent of damage
if this can be carried on it will be okay or you may need corrective surgery now or later to have remove pressure on nerves by laproscopic surgery by nerosurgeon or ortho surgeon
