Yes, you will feel pain if you have a herniated or bulging disc in your back. You may feel the pain in your arm, leg, or back. You will also experience numbness and tingling and weakness.
Arm pain is the most common symptom of a cervical herniated disc along with numbness and tingling along the arm to the fingertips. It is most common in the 30 - 50 year old age group and can start quite spontaneously after a trauma or injury to the cervical spine.

I have herniated disc from C2-3 TO C6-7 LEVELS,this causes continuous neck pain for me along with radiation of pain/weakness to my upper right arm and first to fingers and also base of my thumb. With passage of time it has led to formation of osteophytes in the cervical region which would eventually lead to cervical spondylosis, this is despite regular spinal exercises. i understand ,traction is the best bet along with yoga. I am commencing my follow up now on these lines.
A herniated disc occurs when the outer layer of the disc is damaged, the disc may rupture and the gel-like interior leak, putting pressure on adjacent nerve roots causing tingling, numbness or burning.
Herniated disc that are not pressing on a nerve, may be lower back ache to no symptoms. A herniated disc that is hitting a nerve, may cause weakness, numbness and or pain in the area or path that the nerve travels. If your herniation is in lumbar (lower) you may start to get a sciatica. This is caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve, that shoots pain through buttocks and down the leg and can also cause lower back and leg pain. When herniation is in upper lumber located near bottom of ribs, then your thighs could possibly hurt. Herniation in the neck can cause numbness and or pain in chest, shoulders, and or arms.
Not really. Everyone is different and responds different to both consertative and aggressive treatment.

Some potential causes of cervical pain include whiplash, arthritis, muscle strain, and a herniated disc. If you experience prolonged cervical pain it is recommended that you contact a medical professional.
Many patients with back pain, leg pain , or weakness of the lower extremity muscles are diagnosed with a herinated disc. When a disc herination occurs, the cushion that sits between the spinal vertebra is pushed out of it's normal position. A herinated disc would not be a problem if it wasn't for the spinal nerves which is very close to the edge of the spinal discs.
A rather generic term which means you have irritation/inflamation of one or more of the nerves that exit from your neck vertebrae. It is Not a ruptured cervical disc but it may give you symptoms that are similar in nature..but your MRI is probably negative for a herniated or ruptured disc..so they call it cervical neuritis.
A herniated disc is also referred to as a slipped, rupture, bulging, or protruding disc.
