A member asked:

I have pain down the back of my left leg feel like a charley horse trying to start 4 days now could it have anything to do with bulging disk in my bac?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If the bulging disc is pressing on nerve roots, it could cause the symptoms you described. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen may be helpful.
