You outside there should know the symptom of slip disc.
Back pain can
be caused by many different things. Only about 1 in 25 people with pain in
their lower back have a slipped disc.
If you have a slipped disc, the pain is caused by the damaged disc pressing on
a nerve.
The
main symptoms of a slipped disc are back pain and sciatica.
Sciatica is a pain that spreads down through your buttock and your leg.
Back pain
The
pain from a slipped disc can start in different ways. You might feel an ache
in your lower back after you do something that you're not used to.
Some
hours later, the pain gets so bad that you can't move about easily.
Or
you may get severe pain all of a sudden, without warning. Some
people say it can feel like being stabbed with a knife. So true because I felt
the same way.
Serious
pain can stop you carrying out your normal activities. To find out whether you
have a slipped disc, your GP will need to find out if doing different kinds of
movements hurts you.
Sciatica
If
you have a slipped disc, you'll almost always get pain in your buttocks,
thighs, legs, and feet. Usually
the pain is only on one side.
You
may also get numbness, weakness, or tingling in the same area.
These
symptoms mean the damaged disc is pressing on a sciatic nerve.
These nerves travel from
the base of your back through your buttocks and down the back of each leg to
your feet.
Sciatica
can come on at the same time as the back pain or it may come on later. The pain
may move from your lower back to your leg.
With
sciatica you can find it uncomfortable to sit down, stand up, or bend over. You
will also find it painful to lift the affected leg while you're lying down.
This is one of the tests doctors use to diagnose
sciatica.
You
can often get relief by getting into certain comfortable positions, such as lying
down.
Although
9 in 10 people with sciatica do have a slipped disc, having sciatica doesn't
prove that you have a damaged disc. About 1 in 10 people with sciatica get it
because of other problems.
Warning signs of something more serious
If
you have back pain and you also lose control of your bowels or bladder,
or if your arms or legs feel numb or weak, you need to get medical help at
once. These symptoms can mean one of two things.
·
Your slipped disc could be pressing
on the spinal cord (doctors call this spinal cord compression).
·
Your slipped disc could be pressing
on the nerves that run down from the bottom of the spinal cord. Doctors call
these nerves the cauda equina. If these nerves are being damaged,
it is called cauda equina
syndrome.
