A member asked:

I have two herniated discs in my lower back which when they hurt i feel the pain run to my stomach is that normal?? also makes my legs hurt

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Herniated discs: Herniated discs cause compression of nerves. Tears in the discs (annular tears) can mimic a herniated disc. When the low back (lumbar spine) is involved, the pain radiates into the legs. Pain to the abdomen is usually a herniated disc in the thoracic spine or there is another reason for the pain.
