Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Since you have disc problem get treayted for it as it solve most of your problem. You may require surgery for its permanent cure the type of surgery depends on the ectent and type of disc problem and treating doctor. Have adequate regular sleep, plenty of fluids, nutritious fibre diet with required calorie and regular stretching exercises of your back. Get done your blood sugar, lipid profile and LFT with urine routine. Get back with the results for further discussion. Hope I answered your question. Consult your doctor for further management.
