Varied symptoms: These varied symptoms cannot be tied together by one diagnosis. A ruptured or bulging disk may account for back and leg symptoms, but look for other causes of muscle cramps and other diffuse aches. After your MRI of the lower back, a neurosurgeon can advise you re diagnosis and treatment options. I suggest you also see your physician or a rheumatologist to investigate the other complaints.
