<human>: I have 3 bulging discs, a torn disc & an extruded disc in my back.  The extruded disc is at L5-S1 and is the root of my sciatic pain - Last night, my husband noticed that my upper leg around my hips & thighs was marbled like red & white circle blotches.  Is this something typical with my back condition or something different?
<bot>: Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Skin changes are not usual with disc bulging at L5-S1 and compression of the nerve. Pain is a common feature, which can radiate up to the foot and toes, along with tingling and numbness. So, if you can upload a picture of the affected area, it would help in making a diagnosis. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
