Urge you to see your doctor face to face and get an exam, as the intense pain could be due to a ruptured disc, but could also be due to facet impingement and/ or sacroiliac dysfunction. Imaging studies could well be helpful. Therapeutics can be planned once it is clear where pain generator is coming from. In meantime, a sacroiliac belt, which could be obtained online could help ease the pain.
