How can someone overcome severe back pain that leads to left leg immobilization?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your pain is due to the compression of the nerves in your lower spine.

1. Avoid lifting heavy weights.
2. Avoid arching your back. Instead, bend your knees to pick up something from the floor.
3. Avoid sitting for long hours.
4. Avoid two-wheeler rides.
5. Improve your posture while sitting.
6. Try to get up from your chair every 20 minutes, take a quick walk, and then continue working. Always sit on a chair with back support.
7. Do not get up suddenly from a sleeping position. Rather, turn to the side and then get up.
8. Take bed rest if severe pain.
9. Do hot fomentations locally over the affected area at least twice daily.
10. Apply Oxalgin gel (Diclofenac sodium, Methyl salicylate, and Menthol) for local application twice daily.
11. Take one tablet of Pregabalin 75 (Pregabalin and Methylcobalamin) milligrams for 15 days before food at 7 pm every day, a tablet of Etoricoxib 60 milligrams two times a day for 10 days after food, a tablet of Rabeprazole 20 milligrams two times a day for 10 days before food, tablet Shelcal 500 (Calcium and Vitamin D3) milligrams two times a day for 30 days before food, and tablet Vitamin D 60 once daily for 10 days, then once a month for 11 months. Take these tablets only if you are not allergic to them. Do not take these tablets if you have bronchial asthma.
12. Do physiotherapy, McKenzie back, extension exercises, back core strengthening exercises, glutei strengthening exercises, and passive straight leg raising exercises. These exercises can be done initially under a supervision of a physiotherapist or learn to do it at home. Start physiotherapy once the pain reduces. Only regular exercises can give results.
13. After the pain reduces, the following activities are good for you: Swimming, yoga, and walking. Jogging, running, and weight-lifting may aggravate back problems.

Consult with a doctor and take the medicine with their consent.

The probable diagnosis is left L5 nerve compression and degenerative disc.

Regarding follow-up consult after five days.

Thank you.
