Slip disc is the reason for your reccurrent pain, numbness and heavyness. You should try ayurvedic treatment for 6months to 1 year for complete relief. To prevent reccurences you should do regular yoga and exercise. Do regular walking. Do not carry heavy loads. Prevent sitting or standing for long hours. Sleep on ortho friendly matress. Always maintain correct posture. Stop eating chilled and sour food items.
