Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think you may be suffering from degenerative spine with multiple level disc prolapse in lumbar spine. Many of my such patient got relief by analgesics such as diclofenac slow release tablets(if pain is more than strong analgesic such as tramadol is useful), Diapering, Glucosamine and neurotrophic agents such as mecobalamine. You can discuss with your treating Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Wishing you good health. Take care
