Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You probably have a prolapsed disc, which is causing a severe compression over the nerves. That is why you are feeling numb, paralyzed, and unable to perform. It would help if you underwent an x-ray and MRI of lumbosacral spine for further evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, try,

1.Tablet Dolonex DT (Piroxicam) 20 mg twice a day after food for five days - for back pain.

2.Tablet Myospaz ( Paracetamol and Chlorzoxazone) thrice daily after food for five days - for muscle spasm.

3.Tablet Pantodac (Pantoprazole) 40 mg daily before breakfast for five days - Antacid.

4.Tablet Lyrica (Pregabalin) or Neugatrip (Amitriptyline and Pregabalin) 75 mg after food once in the night for two weeks - for nerve pain.

5.Tablet Vitawell once a day after food at noon for four weeks - Multivitamin.

6. Capsule Uprise (Cholecalciferol) D3 60k once a week after food for eight weeks - vitamin D supplement.

7. Follow work ergonomics.

8. Lumbosacral belt while standing, sitting, and walking for three weeks.

9. To sleep on one side with hips and knees flexed.

10. To avoid forward bending, floor activities, and lifting heavy weights for three months.
