<s>[INST] I have severe lower back pain that goes down into my left hip and into my left knee. Both of my legs feel weak and shaky at times and my left arm feels a tad weak. It is difficult and painful to walk or sit, my job requires me to sit in front of a computer for 8 hours. [/INST] After going through your query I think You may be suffering from lumbar disc prolapse. What is your age? What is duration of your pain and weakness? Presuming disc prolapse there are two treatment options. First option is Rest in position of relief(generally lateral position with both hip and knee bend), NURSING GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as attract three times a day after meals) is required. OMEPRAZOLE before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics. This method needs patience as it take longer treatment times sometimes up to 6 months. Second option is go for surgical operation (Discectomy). You can discuss with your treating surgeon. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query </s>
