A member asked:
Any ideas? patient had a disk prolapse in sl5 , now and again central pain in the lower back area spreading to thighs; pins and needles in arms n legs

Need to pin down: Symptoms in arms are not related to a disk in the lower back, although one might experience disk issues in neck also. Best though to wonder about peripheral nerve disorder, spinal stenosis, and even medication reactions. Need a thorough evaluation by a neurologist.
