I can answer this question for you. You are not unlucky or badly put together. I'm sure you were put together much like the rest of us. I would bet that much of this is linked. Sometime things like this tend to have a snowball effect where a problem arises and it is either ignored or exacerbated which then leads to problems further down the chain.

I would even bet that this is mostly related to your disc removal. Obviously something wasn't right that caused the disc injury in the first place and I'm sure that was never assessed and dealt with correctly. So if you don't fix the original problem, it isn't going to go away. This is most likely why you are getting pain in other areas of your back.

It also sounds like you might be having some other health issues. In many cases, joint pain(amongst many things), can be directly related to nutrition. Believe it or not but the things you eat can cause chronic inflammation in your joints as well as your digestive tract.

If you would like, send me a PM with your location and I will help you locate a practitioner in your area that will be able to help you.

I wish I could help more but you need a very thorough assessment. Believe me when I say that you can drastically improve the quality of your life. You just need a push in the right direction.

Thanks guys,

My location is London, UK. Specifically the W7 area.
