Usually Number Theory is governed by some syllabus, some goal(s) and several levels ...IMO preparation has no syllabus that I know of ... so you have to look over solved problems ... while a lot of solutions are elegant and even spectacular, they are also not easy and they will not give you too much "durable/professional education" ...A brief list of Number Theory books (mostly elementary):"Ivan Morton Niven, Herbert S.

R2AI realise you have tried some form of chiropractic and some exercise based physiotherapy and that is the logical choice before any major surgery.I have written on similar questions on Quora beforeJoel V Simon's answer to My mom has a terrible back ache. It's due to minimal slipped disc in L4 and L5. What can cure her?Joel V Simon's answer to What is the best remedy for a slipped disc?Please read through them and see if you have any doubts.

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders 15:416 DOI: 10.1186/1471-2474-15-416Myth – A scan will tell me exactly what’s wrongThere is a large and growing body of research that shows that not only do results of scans correlate poorly with symptoms in people with Low Back Pain [2, 4, 5], but also that most people without Low Back Pain have changes on scans and x-rays that do not cause any symptoms at all [1, 3, 5].For these reasons and more, imaging alone isn’t capable of telling us exactly why someone is experiencing pain.Of course this does not mean that all MRI scans are irrelevant in all cases, but it does mean that they are not always necessary or helpful. In fact, there is evidence to suggest that in some cases, having a scan can make situations worse [6].#ThePlanNotTheScanTeraguchi et al, (2013) Prevalence and distribution of intervertebral disc degeneration over the entire spine in a population-based cohort: the Wakayama Spine Study.Videman et al, (2003) Associations Between Back Pain History and Lumbar MRI FindingsCheung et al, (2009) Prevalence and Pattern of Lumbar Magnetic Resonance Imaging Changes in a Population Study of One Thousand Forty-Three Individuals.Endcan et al, (2011) Potential of MRI findings to refine case definition for mechanical low back pain in epidemiological studies: a systematic review.Brinjikji et al, (2015) MRI Findings of Disc Degeneration are More Prevalent in Adults with Low Back Pain than in Asymptomatic Controls: A Systematic Review and Meta-AnalysisWebster et al, (2010) Relationship of early magnetic resonance imaging for work-related acute low back pain with disability and medical utilization outcomes.Myth - Pain equals damageThe level of pain experienced is very rarely proportional to the amount injury sustained to the back. Pain is far more complex than this, as pain levels are a reflection of how threatened each human perceives itself to be.For example, past experiences, general health factors, beliefs, sleep and exercise levels as well as psychological wellbeing, all play important parts in how much pain each individual might experiences.
