Does A Herniated Disc Cause Spasms In The Pelvic Area?
I have been diagnosed with a herniated disc that is causing spinal cord compression. The neurosurgeon says it is very serious and he s surprised from the mri that I m not in more pain than I m reporting. I m having surgery for this in about three weeks. Today I notice a light vibration or spasm in my pelvic area. I m curious if this could be related to the cord compression.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Spasm is not a typical presentation of disc herniation. However, it can be present secondary to the severe pain people experience in disc herniation. In your case though, spasm is highly unlikely to be due to the disc disease. Wishing you a fast recovery after surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
