A member asked:
I have leg pain because of disc gape. i can't walk because of this pain. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: I have never heard of the term disc gape. If the pain is that severe and conservative therapy (meds, physical therapy, injections) have not helped, then consider a surgical opinion if your doctor thinks it is warranted.
