<bot>: Hi, Thanks for posting your query. You are most likely suffering from prolapsed intervertebral disc or caudal bonus syn Chat Doctor. Do you have radiating pain in lower limbs/ weakness in lower limbs? You should consult with orthopedic surgeon/ neurosurgeon and should go for x-ray lumbosacral spine as preliminary investigations. You should also go for CT/ MRI scan lumbosacral spine for better clarification. You should do strict bed rest. You should take painkillers with serratiopeptidase and choral forte for reducing swelling. You should stop sitting & lying down on floor. If not treatable with medicines then you should go for surgery. Take care,
