Hello,

I have studied your case.
Usually nerve compression cant be seen on x ray you may need MRI for this.
If there is any nerve compression then that may need specific treatment.

I will advise you to do MRI spine
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic[pregabalin] medication can be started consulting your doctor..
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
