Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

If you have pain that shoots down from the back to the foot and from the neck down chances are that you have an acute muscle strain or a nerve irritation in the neck and back.

Long hours of sitting at a desk with a computer especially if your posture is not good will eventually lead to these type of problems.

You will need medications for pain, muscle relaxants, improving sitting posture, avoiding long office hours, and later if not better an MRI to confirm a disc protrusion is the management for this.

Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. George Verghese
