I have had a bad disk in my lower back. I was told I needed to be careful. But A few months ago after having to do stuff I shouldn t. My back hurt so bad I made it to bed how I don t know! But my legs and feet were .The pain in my back was bad I all so had big like knot off to the side of the bad vertebrae. I put ice on it and it went away but!!! My back hurts I can t sit for very long, stand for very long,no lifting that is for sure. If my back starts to hurt I have to hurry to bed and lay flat. My Dr. Gave me Lidocaine patches they help but it is getting worse. Both legs are going numb and some times I can t feel my feet. It is scary!!! Well it go away? Thank You Susan
Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor .you are suffering from prolapse intervertebral disc. PRIMARY TREATMENT of disc prolapse is rest and analgesics but sometimes operative treatment is needed to be decided by MRI report.
