A member asked:
Have had prolapsed disc between l5/s1 for several years, what type of neurological symptoms could this cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None or: sciatica. Usually the back pain resolves with time. Sometimes there is muscle weakness or loss. May have numbness in the L5 or S1 nerve root distribution. With the diabetes, I would get an NCV-EMG to sort out what symptoms are due to neuropathy vs. radiculopathy.
