What Causes Herniated Disc In Lower Back Along With Swelling In Calf?

Hi, I have 3 slipped discs in my lower back and sciatica in my right side calf, my calf is a little swollen and my right heel of my foot hurts. I saw a surgeon in 2014 who put me through for a back op which I didnt really want and after seeing the anesthetist I cancelled as she said she possibly couldnt keep me alive as I am a sever asthmatic.....I have had problems with my hips for years and seen quite a few chiropractors who all said my hips are dislocating which I can feel them doing , yet when I told my surgeon they totally ignored this and have never taken xrays of my hips...I am a 47 year old woman I weigh 50kg am a size uk 8 - 10 and about 5 foot 5 ish tall.....I am in sever pain scared and really dont know what to do please can you advise me....Many thanks .....Lois
