Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent back pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like discs' injury, sciatica, spinal stenosis, arthritis or spondylitis. In your case it seems to me that the symptoms are due to injury and as you said that there is nerve compression. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order certain test like CT scan, MRI or physical examination. Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti-inflammatory and vitamin supplement for quick recovery. Doctor may also recommend physical therapy, which will be very effective. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
