A member asked:
I have a herniated disk per mri and i have noticed .y feet and ankles are swelling. is this related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Please see your doctor and tell them about the swelling. Many things can cause ankle and foot swelling. However, a (presumed lumbar) disk herniation would not cause ankle and foot swelling.
