A member asked:
Disc herniation cause weakness in lower extremities ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Herniated disc: Herniated discs can impinge on a nerve root and lead to pain, numbness and weakness. When weakness develops, it is important to see a neurosurgeon to evaluate and treat the disc herniation so that the weakness does not become permanent.

If it does: Suggest you see your doctor right away before weakness turns to paralysis.
