I've been diagnosed with a slipped disc at L4 L5 S1 and have a lot of pain, especially shooting down my left leg. My doctor prescribed neorelax mr 8, gabanuron od, and gemcal along with exercises twice a day and ice packs. Will this treatment actually help me recover or should I consider surgery for this issue

Slip disc treatment with medications and physiotherapy may help; surgery is for cases with severe nerve compression or no improvement after 6–8 weeks.

I've been feeling dizzychakkar when I wake up these past couple of days. It happened to me a few years ago too, but it eventually went away on its own without any medication. I'm a bit worried now because I felt okay waking up yesterday, but the dizziness has lingered all day. Im curious to know what type of doctor I should see for this. Any ideas?

I'm experiencing some numbness in my hands that's been going on for the past 2 to 3 months. It seems to happen when I'm doing my regular activities like lifting a bag or sometimes even when I wake up from sleep. I never had this issue before, and it's starting to concern me. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
