Exercise: Talk to you doctor and try some regular neck exercises. Also, you need to break your computer sessions up. Try to atleast break free and walk around or simply move.

Weakness: depends on which discs are affected. If the disease in the cervical ( neck) region that can cause the symptoms and some physiotherapy in consultation with the Physiotherapist may help. If the disc involved are in lower back, that should not cause weakens sin arms-- see your doctor for review.
