About Herniated Discs
When the nerve root has been irritated or damaged, it is known as a herniated disc which causes pain in the neck, arms, back and even the legs, depending on what part of the spine is involved in the injury. Herniated discs are also known as:
- bulging disc
- ruptured disc
- slipped disc
When part of the spinal disc or pad breaks through its fibrous, cartilage covering and presses on the spinal nerve, a herniated disc occurs. Common causes of herniated discs include:
- sudden pressure on the disc from a car accident, work-related injury or slip and fall accident
- improper lifting
- repetitive, strenuous action
Herniated Disc Symptoms
Consequences of a herniated disc can be very serious if it is left untreated. Symptoms include:
- weakness in leg
- tingling or numbness in leg or buttocks
- lower back ache
- sciatica
- burning neck pain
- bladder or bowel control issues
A herniated disc injury can be extremely painful and leave you unable to work.
