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.
The general types of signs and symptoms of a herniated disk will be similar regardless of the level of the disk injury. However, the level of the disk injury will dictate which extremities are affected. Symptoms may include sharp pain and muscle spasms in the vicinity of the herniated disk. Neurological symptoms may also include shooting pain, radiating pain, weakness, burning, tingling, and numbness following the nerve root that is affected by the herniation.
