A member asked:
Would a left paracentral lateral annular tear at l4/l5 disc cause sciatica pain like when sitting burning and pins and needles and numbness? thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your annular tear will cause low back pain, and if a portion of the disc contacts a nerve root, referral of sciatic pain down the leg in that distribution would be associated. An examination will readily answer that question. See your doctor and clarify, but also start therapy.
