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 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. Dr. Behar.
