After sustaining a herniated disc in the lower back, how long does it take for pain to radiate down the leg?
I have 2 herniated discs in my back (L5/S1, L4). I've been injured w/o specific treatment for the discs for a year. It took 3 1/2 months for pain to go from my back to my leg (w/glute and hip pain developing steadily during that time). I've been decently, but not overly, active. Does it usually take that long?
radiation of the pain depends totally on which segment or nerve root is compressed by the herniated disc. the anatomical and neurological level of lesion differ in the vertebral segments. if u've herniated the disc of L5-S1 it doesnt affect any of the nerve roots, but the nerve itself. the pinal cord ends at L2 max. so nerve roots are usually unaffected. so it totally depends which part of the nerve is being affected, root, trunk or the ramii.the nucleus pulposus can be extruded and compress any part of the nerve. a single nerve like sciatic nerve whihc is the major nerve for lower limbs consists of more than one nerve root i.e. L3,4,5-S1,2,3. the disc needs to be relocated which is usually done naturally by applying traction to the spine. and thorough rehabilitation to prevent any future complications.

It depends, but yes it can take a prolonged period of time.
I would still have a doc check it out to assure the two pains are related.

depends on your specific injury, body, nature and level of activity.

I am speaking from many years with a herniated disc and find that it is a re-occurring pain that is devastating to the individual going through it. To know you have this problem means to me you have seen a Dr. This could affect your life in a not so good manner. I am getting an M.R.I. to see if they can fuse my two lower disc,s. This takes six months to set up just to get the M.R.I. I dont know your age but it is an option. Good luck

The disc normally has a very fluid center. Upon inital injury, it may displace, causing pain which may or may not radiate to the lower extremity. If the disc continues to displace, it may develop into lower extremity...or if the height of the disc begins to collapse, it may put more pressure on the nerve. This is not an uncommon pattern of history of radicular back pain (radicular refers to when it follows the pattern of a specific nerve root).
Please disregard the answer listed first on this page...stay OFF the couch, this is the worst possible place for someone with a herniated disc. Go to a physical therapist (after seeing your doctor) who is trained in the McKenzie methond to determine the best exercise to reduce the displacement of the disc.

My Fiance had pain in his legs within a few weeks... however we were told this is due to a pinched nerve... and swelling.

take time for the herniation to reach the spinal nerve and irritate it to cause the pain, You may be getting worse!!!

Any leg pain needs elevating on a sofa. For back pain the best solution is to do situps every other day to build back strength.
The best way to get out of pain fast (body aches) is to sleep in a sleeping bag at night to circulate body heat flow. U will wake up with no pain. It really works , try it.
