What is lumbar disc prolapse(sciatica)?
- Disc is a soft rubbery structure encased in tough outer layer which acts as a cushion between two spinal bones(vertebra).
- Disc prolapse results from protrusion of disc material from the cracks in the outer tough layer.
- Symptoms of sciatica develop when the protruded disc starts putting pressure over the nerve root causing its irritation leading to back ache, pain travelling from buttock area to thigh, leg and foot.
- Patient may have difficulty in walking and bending forward with restriction of day to day activities in severe cases
