    Hi Caroline,

    I had similar symptoms and fortunately a friend recommended a method called Egoscue. I can't recommend it enough as it got rid of all my symptoms.

    See if you can get it where you live.

    Good luck

    These are severe symptoms. A "red flag" symptom is apparently difficulty in passing water. If you cannot urinate, you should go to hospital. If you do need the disc removed, ask about an endoscopic discectomy. It causes much less pain and scarring to your back and requires less recovery time.
