Hi. IT looks obvious you have undergone an MRI and got discs diagnosed. The Lumbar one are causing symptoms of numbness and weakness. Why was the surgery not done? As far as Headache is concerned , I would suggest you to consult a Neurologist once again ( if you already have) and seek for another reasons of it.
