What are the symptoms of a slip disc?

The slipdisc may occur at any level of your spine, from your neck to your lower back. This is generally the most common area of the spinal column. This network of nerves and blood vessels creates a complex system of nerves and blood vessels. As a result, the nerves and muscles around the disc can suffer additional pressures.

The following symptoms are associated with slip discs:

• Numbness and pain, most often occurring on only one side of the body
• Symptoms that extend to the arms or legs
• During specific movements or the night, the pain worsens
• When standing or sitting, the pain worsens
• A painful sensation when you walk short distances
• Muscle weakness that does not make sense
• A burning sensation, tingling, or aching sensations in the affected area
