A herniated disc in the neck may cause symptoms in the shoulders, arms or chest. A herniated disc in the lower back may cause sciatica, with leg pain and other nerve-related symptoms. A herniated disc in the lower back may be felt in the buttock and down the back of the leg to the ankle or foot. There may be low back pain, but usually not as severe as leg pain. Other symptoms of a herniated disc may include severe deep muscle pain and muscle spasms. Low back pain that does not involve numbness, tingling and/or weakness, or pain in a leg is not usually due to disc herniation pressing on the nerve root.
Lumbar disc problems are the most widespread cause of lower back pain, which can be dull, sharp or burning and radiate to the buttocks, legs and feet. Lumbar bulging discs can also result in weakness, numbness and tingling in the legs, as well as muscle spasms. Symptoms of a lumbar bulging disc can worsen with coughing, sneezing and bending. When a lumbar bulging disc exerts pressure on the sciatic nerve, the resulting symptoms are commonly referred to as sciatica. In rare cases, patients with a lumbar bulging disc might experience a loss of bladder or bowel control.
