Hello, I have studied your case. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication like pregabalin and methylcobalamine can be started consulting your doctor. Till time, avoid lifting weights. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. If Your lumbar scan shows some disc bulge of severe variety then you may need surgical decompression. Physiotherapy for lumbar spine also. Epidural injection shot may help if no relief. Avoid lifting weights. Avoid bending forwards. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
