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.

ā 11y agoPain, weakness, numbness, tingling sensations, and spasms are all symptoms but some herniated discs will not produce symptoms at all. See your doctor if you think you may have a herniated disc.

ā 12y agoWhile many people with a herniated disc often present with no physical symptoms and are often unaware they have a herniated disc, it is possible to experience a significant amount of pain with a herniated disc. Where the pain is felt is often dependent upon where the herniated disc has occurred. The symptoms of a herniated disc include numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, muscle weakness and arm or leg pain that radiates downwards.

People with herniated discs often have issues such as arm and leg pain. They also experience numbness and weakness in the body.
Injury and aging are the two factors that cause a herniated disc.
Our spinal cord protects the nerves that send messages to the brain. It is made up of a series of connected bones or vertebrae. These vertebrae are stacked on top of each other forming an āSā shape with the curve being the most at the neck and in the lower back. Each vertebra has a disc between them which acts as a shock absorber.
The shock absorber discs between each vertebra are made up of a soft,gel-like nucleus and a hard outer casing. With injury or aging, the disc may tear open, allowing the nucleus to seep out. This nucleus puts pressure on the nearby nerves. This is referred to as a herniated disc.
Ranka Hospital, Pune provides treatment and facilities for a herniated disc.

What is small central disc herniation indenting the ventral margin of the the the thecal sac?
A broad herniation means that at least 25% of the disc is affected. A central herniation means that the herniation is toward the spinal column. A broad central herniation of the disc with impingement on the thecal sac is a herniation in which a large portion of the disc is protruding toward the spinal column and is pressing against the membrane which surrounds the spinal cord.
What is a T1-T2 disc herniation?
A T1-T2 disc herniation is a herniation that happens in the middle or lower back. This will cause extreme pain and possible numbness in the limbs.
Does disc herniation affect the hips?

What does a small left paracentral disc herniation mean and how serious is it?
A disc herniation can be serious because it can cause severe pain and loss of feeling in your arms and legs. This kind of herniation basically means the rubbery cushion between the bones has moved out of its proper place.
Is genetics a factor in disc degeneration?
Growing scientific evidence also points to genetic factors in disc herniation, especially in families with a history of predisposition to early-onset sciatica and disk herniation.
What does herniation of a vertebral disc involve?
When a disc herniates, the jellylike substance pushes through and causes the harder outer ring (annulus fibrosus) to compress a nerve root in the spinal cord. Herniation of a vertebral disc can cause varying degrees of pain
Is a bulge and herniation the same thing?
No, a bulge and a herniation are not the same thing. A bulge refers to a generalized extension of the intervertebral disc beyond its normal confines, while a herniation involves a more focal or localized displacement of disc material that may compress nearby nerves.
What is the best test to show disc herniation?
Because magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides sharp, clear images of bones, discs, nerves, and soft tissues, it is the best test to show disc herniation and nerve compression.
What is central cervical disc herniation?
it means that your disc is slightly bulged. which means it sticks out further than it should between your vertebrates
What does no significant disc herniation mean?
You have a disc between two nearby vertebrae. The disc is composed of outer ring of fibrous tissue. It is called as annulus fibrosus. There is soft gel like substance inside the outer ring. It is called as nucleus pulposus. sometimes this soft substance get leaked out. It may compress the nerve root. This process is called as disc herniation. It is not present in your case. That is nice finding.
What does ā broad-based disc bulging slightly asymmetric to the left with associated posterior lateral spurs?
This is called a broad based disc herniation
