You have intervertebral disc prolapse and need surgery. Until then you can use braces for disc support. You should not take combiflam for more than 5 days

You need to start doing back extension exercises and that to only when pain subsides. Avoid forward bending and lifting heavy things. If it doesnot settles on 3 months time I would suggest you to undergo endoscopic discectomy under local anaesthesia.
