Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

You may need to consult pain management doctor.
I will advise you to do MRI spine to see for any disc bulge or spinal canal stenosis.
And also check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Medication like methylcobalamine and analgesic will reduce pain.
You can continue yoga exercises and focus on spine extension exercises.

You may consult physiotherapist for guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
If not relieved you can take epidural injection.

Hope this helps. Wish you speedy recovery.

Take care
