I was in York Hospital (23 days) and PSU-Hershey Medical Center (18 days) in 2017, for severe/chronic/acute Pancreatitis, and lost the weight; haven’t gained it back. I’m up to 170 now, and feel great, except for the Sciatica, for the past 2yrs pain.
Look into items I posted earlier today:

The boron is more for osteo arthritis, not back disc issues, per se, unless bone-on-bone.
The curcumin and Type 2 collagens would be good for you.
