Can A Disc Herniation Cause External Bruising?
I have a L5 S1 disc herniation and a bruise/tenderness at the site of the herniation. Can a disc herniation cause external bruising? I don t use a heating pad and I haven t bumped it. The tenderness has been there since I herniated the disc, the bruising is just showing up to my knowledge

Hello,
I do not think there will be any bruise due to L5-S1 disc herniation. it might be due to something else.
But I would like to ask you, are you having excruciating pain in the region of the bruise?
Getting it Physically examined by a physician will be always advised as ignorance cannot be benefitted.
You should take Physical therapy to help reduce the pain for the disc herniation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
