Hello Lybrate user, I think you are using too many medicines. Lumar joint is weight bearing, if get sprained may take 2-3 weeks even, depending on intensity. Try to sleep over hard surface, Do not travel and exert. Treatment - For quicker recovery - Take Homeopathic BRYONIA 200, 6 pills two times a day for 5 days.. Give hot fomentation.

You need to consult an orthopedician with specialisation in spine who will be able to tell you the long term outcome of your problem. Ideally painkillers and anti inflammatory drugs should not be taken chronically as they have their own side effects (eg gastric ulcers, acidity, etc) Also consult a physiotherapist who will recommend some exercises that will help. They will also be able to advise you regarding sitting and standing postures, and how much physical exertion is allowed with your condition. Continue all your medications as per doctor's advice; do not make any changes without consulting them.
