Can a disc protrusion have same symptoms as a muscle spasm ?

Muscle spasm: Disc protrusion or herniation typically causes pain radiation to the extremity with or without numbness/tingling. When the pain becomes severe, it may cause muscle spasm as a result of a physiological response to the muscle tissue.
