Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query in my opinion it is a degenerative spine witChatDoctorpressive symptoms. Rest in position of relief, Cartilage D once daily, NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can aggravate this so serum vitamin D test is advised if it is lower than vitamin D supplementation will be required. Yes, sciatica and numbness will be relieved by disc removal. Backache may or may not be removed. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query.
