Quad Clenches: Lie flat on your back or sit upright on a chair with leg kept horizontally on another surface. Now, tighten the muscle on the front of the thigh by pushing your knee down. You should feel your thigh muscles clench, Hold for 3 secs. Repeat 10 times twice a day.
Short Arcs: Lie flat on your back or sit upright with your leg placed horizontally on a flat surface like a chair or bed. Place a rolled up towel under the knee. Pull your toes towards you and clench you thigh muscles. Slowly lift your foot up off the bed until your knee is straight (keep your knee resting on the towel). Hold for 3 secs and slowly lower them on the chair. Repeat 10 times twice a day.
Straight Leg Raise: Lie flat on your back. One leg and knee will be straight and other leg should be bent. Pull your toes towards you and tighten/clench the muscle on the front of the thigh, locking your knee straight. Lift your foot up in the air, about 6 inches off the bed. Hold for 3 secs and slowly lower the leg. The knee must remain straight the whole time you are doing this exercise.
You need to get an x-ray with the whole length of the spine to see it better. This is most likely "Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis" which did not progress much, which is good. The pain that you are getting is muscular and the increased curve of your back.
An MRI scan will eliminate any doubts about any problem with the Spinal cord.
Correct painkillers, physiotherapy, maintaining good posture, core strengthening exercises and yoga will help you. This will not progress to cause you any new problems. Surgery is NOT recommended at this time.
Next Steps
X-ray of the whole spine, MRI SCAN of Spine and see a Spine Surgeon.
