Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic.After going through your query in my opinion it is degenerative spine with compressive symptoms.Rest in posision of relief, Cartisafe 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 low 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.
