www.spineplus.co.uk Herniated Disc – Demonstration of how a herniated disc can cause leg pain ‘sciatica’. A herniated disc or prolapsed disc is sometimes referred to as a ‘slipped disc’. For a number of reasons when an intervertebral disc bulges outwards it can put pressure onto any number of nerves radiating out from the spinal chord. These nerves follow specific paths as they travel down the leg and irritation can cause different types of leg pain.

A herniated (or slipped) disc is expulsion in the spinal channel of a part of the intervertebral disc. This one being normally located in the space between two vertebras which he separates. A hernia occurs in 87 % cases at the level of the last lumbar vertebras: most often between vertebras L4 and L5 (4th and the 5th lumbar vertebra) as a consequence of a wrong movement or of a traumatism. This hernia can draw away a compression of roots at this level: bed of sciatic nerves. At Fixmybackdisc.com we can help you end your back pain problems. Visit us at www.fixmybackdisc.com
Herniated Disc Testimonial
Dec 12
L4 / L5 herniated- MRI. It’s been about a year but the Dr.’s do not seem to think surgery is the answer- can walk 1-2 miles a day…mostly only sore in the am before walking. Want to incorporate core strengthening excercises (sits ups/stretches) but is there a proper sequence that should be followed? E.g. Walk first then stretch and do sit ups or do sit ups and stretches first? Does anyone recommend any excercises? Been following the McKenzie method…by far and away, the most recommended movement seems to be lying prone (face down) and and pressing up onto elbows and then hands to make a dramatic curve in the spine (accentuating the Lordosis- surve of the back). Made an appointment with a Neurologist- just want to keep an eye on Sciatica nerve root compression- occasionally get a little tingling in leg/foot which is not good- especially after strenous stretching- really do not want surgery–don’t want drop foot syndrome either- PLEASE HELP BY OFFERING AS MUCH ADVISE AS POSSIBLE- LONG INFORMATIVE REPLIES WELCOME! THANK YOU!!!!
I had a herniated disc when I was 17 and I went to the doctor. Well they referred me to a neurosurgeon. They said I Had a large herniated disc L5-S1. I had sciatica in both legs, more so on the right. The neurosurgeon (who was one of the top surgeons in the north east) said that it was weird because the MRI showed the herniation more towards the left. My orthopedic surgeon told me to get the surgery while my neurosurgeon said no. He pretty much said it should go away. Every 6 months the pain would decrease. Now I am 21 and about 90% of the pain went away (sciatica). I never really had back pain and if I did it would be one day and would go away within 1-2 days. A week before I went to the doctor I had severe back pain though. That back pain lasted for 6 months and went away and then boom sciatica. Sciatica in my left leg pretty much went away while the right leg has some 10%. Is this permanent damage? I do not have weakness because I am 5’8 200 and can still touch an NBA rim.
