Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi there.

I believe you have pinched nerves in the lower back which is causing these symptoms. Wear a lumbar belt. Avoid bending forwards or lifting heavy weights. Apply hot water bottle to the areas of pain. Take Tablet Diclofenac 75mg + Thiocolchicoside combination twice a day after a meal. Also similar pain killing gel can be applied to the painful areas. Consult your Orthopaedic surgeon who may request you to get an MRI lumbosacral spine to iunderstand the degree of nerve pinching and the appropriate treatment.
