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.
Some common symptoms of a bulging disc are, numbness and tingling of the arms, legs, hands, fingers, and other extremities, as well as radiating pain. A point of pressure generally initiates the pain and it radiates down the affected nerve root projecting pain throughout the body.
