Herniated discs often do not need to heal at all. That is because most minor and moderate herniated discs are not painful or problematic in any way. They merely exist. In fact, herniated discs are a common side effect of normal spinal aging.
You can have a herniated disk without knowing it â herniated disks sometimes show up on spinal images of people who have no symptoms of a disk problem. But some herniated disks can be painful. Most herniated disks occur in your lower back (lumbar spine), although they can also occur in your neck (cervical spine).he most common signs and symptoms of a herniated disk are: 1  Arm or leg pain. 2  If your herniated disk is in your lower back, you'll typically feel the most intense pain in your buttocks, thigh and calf. 3  It may also involve part of the foot.
