Hi lybrate-user Immediately consult an orthopaedic surgeon for physical evaluation and x-rays/MRI for diagnosis. She should be made to wear spinal brace in daytime, do hot fomentation and apply anti inflammatory gels, take oral antiinflammatories and muscle relaxant medications. No bending, tisting of spine, lie in comfortable posture in bed. Consultant orthopedics surgeon may manage after x-rays/MRI findings. Acute onset maybe due to acute sprain or acute disc prolapse.
