[|AI|]  Hi, thank you for posting! I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns. Your symptoms tell that you suffer from herniated disc. This condition is treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications. Chiropractic procedures can also help. If this treatment doesn't improve your health condition, surgery is necessary.However, you should contact your neurosurgeon for a physical examination. After he has evaluated your condition, he will be able to determine the needed treatment. All the best.
