My doctor says I have a herniated disc. What should I do?

Your doctor is right that you probably have a herniated disc, which means that the nucleus pulposus (the soft center of the disc) has bulged out and is pressing on your spinal nerves. This can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in your legs, arms, or back. You should see a specialist to determine what treatment options are best for you.
