Hello, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you probably are suffering from muscular pain or lumbar disc prolapse. It can be confirmed by MRI scan. For muscular pain rest and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective) for 4-5 days will be beneficial. For disc prolapse there are two treatment options. First option is Rest in position of relief(generally lateral position with both knee bend), NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as attract three times a day after meals) is required. OMEPRAZOLE before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics. This method needs patience as it take longer treatment times sometimes up to 6 months. Second option is go for surgical operation(Discectomy). You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
