Hello. I'm Dr.Yogesh Kr Sharma. Very good evening. For this you have to undergo MRI SPINE of the affected area and consult a good neurosurgeon. Neurosurgeon will guide you on the basis of the MRI, that this condition can be corrected by operation or by some medications. But how do you know that the disc is going black and there is a deficiency of sinovial or lubricating fluid. Take care and good luck and have a hasty recovery.
