Latent syphilis. If you aren't treated for syphilis, the disease moves from the secondary to the latent (hidden) stage, when you have no symptoms. The latent stage can last for years. Signs and symptoms may never return, or the disease may progress to the tertiary (third) stage.
Signs and symptoms[edit] With symptomatic degenerative disc disease, chronic low back pain sometimes radiates to the hips, or there is pain in the buttocks or thighs while walking; sporadic tingling or weakness through the knees, hands, and fingers may also be evident.
As a slipped disc usually occurs in the lower back, which contains nerves to the lower limbs, leg pain is a common symptom. Arm pain and leg spasms can also occur. Itâs more common in those aged 30 to 50, with men twice as likely to suffer.
