Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about your pain.
The description is very suggestive of a trapped nerve probably caused by discal herniation(hernia on the back bones). This traps and the nerve and causes it to fire painful sensation to areas controlled by this nerve.
Treatment is generally started with medications and other measures like wearing a belt. If they should fail, then you should be evaluated and management updated. if there is still no improvement then I would suggest that you get informed of the possible surgical interventions that can be of help to you.
Get consulted again update your treatment and if no help still, please consider surgical correction.
I hope this helps and I wish you well.
Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask more questions if need be.
