Hi, Back pain with out leg pain usually resolves with Physio - IFT. Once pain in controlled do back strengthening exercises. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration because dehydrated disc is more prone to injury. If you got leg pain now because of impingement - try nerve root block first. consult ortho doctor.
