Identifying Herniated Disc Symptoms?
A herniated disc is a rather common and often highly painful health issue. Herniated disc symptoms can vary significantly, however, and so it may be difficult for you to determine if your pains are caused by this without a visit to the doctor. The reason the symptoms can vary significantly is because a herniated disc, otherwise known as a slipped disc, can occur anywhere on the spine from the upper back to the tail bone. Between each of the spinal bones are cushion-providing discs. Generally, only one slipped disc will be causing symptoms, but occasionally two or several may be herniated at the same time. Herniated disc symptoms may include localized back pain or pressure as well as pain, tingling, or numbness in one or both legs, one or both arms, the lower back, or the buttocks. Some pain may be excruciating and constant, and other pain may be intermittent, recurring, or mild in nature. Often pain is made worse by walking or other movement, but sitting or lying down in a certain position, coughing, sneezing, and more may also exacerbate the pain that is felt. Some herniated disc symptoms do require immediate medical attention and are considered a true medical emergency. If you notice numbness or weakness in the legs, loss of bladder control or loss of bowel control, a major nerve may be compressed through your herniated disc. This can cause serious and sometimes lasting health issues, and immediate medical attention is imperative. You will want to talk to your doctor about any of the herniated disc symptoms you have. Keep in mind that while some herniated discs are caused by trauma or injury to the spine or back, other factors including age can contribute to the condition. Your doctor may recommend various treatments that range from bed rest and over the counter pain medications to performing certain exercises, chiropractic treatment, heating pad applications, and possibly even surgery.
