Disc disease: There is evidence of advanced degeneration of lumbar discs which play a role in your back symptoms but aren't causing hand symptoms. I recommend consulting a neurologist or neurosurgeon for best evaluation and advice. To evaluate your hand symptoms, an MRI of the neck vertebrae will most likely be advised.
