A herniated disk is a disk that ruptures. This allows the jelly-like center of the disk to leak, irritating the nearby nerves. This can cause sciatica or back pain. Your doctor will diagnose a herniated disk with a physical exam and, sometimes, imaging tests. With treatment, most people recover. Treatments include rest, pain and anti-inflammatory medicines, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery.
Pain from a Herniated Disc vs. Degenerative Disc Disease. A herniated disc will typically produce a different type of pain than degenerative disc disease (another common disc problem). When a patient has a symptomatic degenerated disc (one that causes pain or other symptoms), it is the disc space itself that is painful and is the source of pain. This type of pain is typically called axial pain. When a patient has a symptomatic herniated disc, it is not the disc space itself that hurts, but rather the disc problem is causing pain in a nerve in the spine. This type of pain is typically called radicular pain (nerve root pain, or sciatica from a lumbar herniated disc).
