Back pain: Your disc herniation may be getting worse and causing the numbness in your leg, call your doctor first thing in the morning.

Talk to an MD: This is a procedure that can be treated by either a neurosurgeon or an orthopedic surgeon that has specialized in back surgery. The use of a pain clinic to try epidural steroids prior to surgery is another viable option.
