Hi,
It seems that this might be due to pinched nerve pressure due to having bulging in lumber spines resulting Sciatica pain.
Go for back extension exercises daily.
Short way diathermy will be of much helpful.
Go for lumbar traction if your orthopedic surgeon advises.
Use hard bed for sleeping.
Avoid lifting heavy weight.
Do not bend more forward.
Ok and take care.
