What the usually symptoms of having a herniated disk in the low back l5 s1 ? does this involve the sciatic nerve? i have a lot of pain in leg to ankle

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: A herniated disc in this area compresses a nerve root which is a component of the sciatic nerve. Your symptoms suggest this to be the case. Seek medical attention.
