Good day I need some advice , I am 33 and about 5 years ago was treated at a state hospital in south africa for disc prolapse of the r1.r2 as far as i know its the lowest disc but can be corrected if i am mistaken, i went for physio and have a brace it got better but lately my legs go dead when i sit too long and my right arm goes funny numb yet pain strikes through from shoulder and i have these continuouse tremors in my whole body my hands shake all the time , the pain in my lower back is unbareable the last 2 days, i have no medical aid and where i stay the muncipal hospital only has specialists on certain days once a month. what can i do? I am active like posts say you must be but the pain worsens does not ease.

    I am so sorry for what you are going through right now. i know, it can be real hell. I had a terrible disc prolapse and i did all possible things to avoid the operation. i realized it was only temporaly and the pain would come back. I had two nerve blocks in January 2015, Radio frequency was done in March and in May i decided enough of the pain was enough, and i had the operation done. Although my left legg is a little numb, the pain is gone and i am back to work. I thank God i no longer have the pains. Just try that, and know everything we do, its by Faith and God takes over. I do wish you all the best. God bless.
