Hello and thankyou for approaching DoctorSpring with your query.
I have gone through your case and understand your concern
From your symptoms it is likely that the symptoms have developed as a result of a pinched nerve.
It is nothing serious but you will require further evaluation to make a definitive diagnosis.
You will require to get a XRay of your spine done depending on which you may require a CT scan of the spine.

I would advise you not to stay in the same position for long periods of time.
When you sit make sure you sit with an erect posture.
When you sleep, try to sleep on a thin pillow or no pillow. The mattress should be firm. Your whole body should ideally be on one plane when sleeping.
For now you can take the OTC drug Ibuprofen after a meal to relieve your symptoms when required.

Depending on the X-Ray or CT, which will help make a definite diagnosis, you can start physiotherapy exercises under guidance.
But first it is important to get the X-Ray or CT to know where exactly the problem lies.

I hope this has helped.
Feel free to follow up.
Thankyou

Hello and thankyou for your reply.
Regarding acupuncture it has shown to have little effect on back pain in clinical studies that were carried out. But was not shown to have more effect as compared to the medical interventions. I would advise you to first get the investigations done like X-Ray depending on which you start physiotherapy exercises under guidance. That will be more effective in your treatment.

However if you ever do go for acupuncture, make sure you go to a professional licensed acupuncturist.

I hope this has helped.
Thankyou
