Depending on the severity of symptoms, treatments for a herniated disc include physical therapy, muscle-relaxant medications, pain medication, anti-inflammation medications, local injection of cortisone (epidural injections), and surgical operations.
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.
