Herniated Disk in the Lower Back
Sometimes called a slipped disc, a herniated disk most often occurs in your lower back. It is one of the most common causes of low back pain, as well as leg pain (sciatica).
Herniated Disc symptoms: sharp, burning or stabbing pain in back, may also run down leg; onset is often sudden.
Condition and Causes
Between 60% and 80% of people will experience low back pain at some point in their lives. A high percentage of people will have low back and leg pain caused by a herniated disk.
Although a herniated disk can sometimes be very painful, most people feel much better with just a few weeks or months of nonsurgical treatment.
