when is it time to act?

I have a herniated disk in my upper middle back for 14 yrs and recently have begun to experience symptoms of worsening pain with movement, numbness and burning in my arms. I feel like I have a couch on my chest and have to work hard to catch my breath. I am healthy otherwise, just worsening symptoms. I want to know if there are viable options to go and ask my doctor or not to bother. If there is no viable options then I might as well just suffer in silence.

try the conventional first.pt..shots..traction..if no relief, go see the neurologist. If you experience muscle weekness..don't delay..it could become permanent

I just learned from the doctor that the cortizone shots I have been having regularly since april this year for hip bursitis may have caused osteoporosis and that my foot right now maybe broken, makes me wonder if why my herniated disc is bothering me now..I don't belive all this, I am on my way to more tests and feeling extremely frustrated with all this..when does it end?
