What is Herniated Disc Problem? A herniated disc refers to a problem with one of the discs between the individual bones that make up the spine. This can irritate the surrounding nerves causing pain and discomfort in the arms or legs.


Symptoms of Herniated Disc Symptoms of a herniated disc include arm or leg pain, numbness, tingling, and weak muscles. Depending on where the herniated disc is located, different parts of the body may be affected. For example, a herniated disc in the lower back means that an individual will likely experience pain in their buttocks, thighs, or calf muscles.


How To Diagnose Herniated Disc Problem? To diagnose a herniated disc a doctor will examine your back to check for tenderness. A further exam may look for reflexes, muscle strength, walking ability, or the ability to feel light touches. Imaging tests may also be done which include an x-ray, CT scan, MRI, and a myelogram.
