Have produding disc l5s1 with sciatica in buttocks and leg, hip and testicle pain. im lately feeling fatigued all the time. is this linked to disc?

Disc: Being tired is not related to the disc if there is no chronic pain or symptoms. Just knowing that you have a disc does not cause tiredness.

Not Related: Fatigue is a general overall feeling, usually caused by medication, recent illness or infection, and even different medical disorders. The disc herniation has no relation to typical fatigue symptoms. However, if your symptoms of fatigue are related only to the legs and back, then that might suggest the nerve impingement is more significant causing leg weakness. I would discuss this with your md.

Thanks for asking!: The fatigue could be caused by numerous things. One of the most likely causes is if you are narcotics and have been for an extended period of time. Chronic opioid usage can lead to low testosterone and other hormonal/chemical imbalances, which lead to fatigue, low sex drive, etc. Another issue is chronic pain can cause hormonal imbalance. I would start by checking your testosterone level.
