Typical symptoms:

  1. Radiating Pain: Pain radiates down into the buttocks, thighs or legs. This is known as sciatica & can cause tingling, numbness or a burning sensation.
  2. Localized Pain: You may experience intense pain in the lower back, often concentrated to one side. This pain can be sharp, shooting or a constant ache.
  3. Muscle Weakness: Herniated discs can press on nerves, leading to muscle weakness in the legs or feet. You may have difficulty lifting, standing for long periods or walking normally.
  4. Reduced Mobility: The pain & discomfort limits your range of motion, making it challenging to bend, twist or perform everyday activities.
  5. Worsening Pain with Activity: Symptoms are worse with bending forward, sitting for prolonged periods or lifting heavy objects.
  6. Intermittent Symptoms: The severity of symptoms may vary, with some days being better than others.
