After going through your query I think your friend is suffering from lumbar 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 his treating surgeon. Disc prolapse cause recurrent problems. He should avoid weight lifting and strenuous activity. These episodes settle down in a period of nearly two years. I think after that he will not have frequent problems. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query
