Hi there.

You are most probably suffering from Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc disease.
Kindly start by getting an X ray of the spine done. If this doesn't reveal much then go for an MRI.
Get them evaluated by an orthopedician.

Try lying down on your left side with knees and hips flexed.
Take a short 5 day coursebof Dexomethasone injection under strict supervision.
Start with a potent painkiller and muscle relaxant .
Tramodol is quite helpful in such conditions.
Apply heating pads.

Rest of the treatment will depend on report results.

I hope my advice has helped
Good luck
