Does Herniated Disc Cause Fever?

I have been diagnosed with a herniated disc, L5 S1. I have run a low grade temp for about 6 months off and on. This not typical of me. I forgot to ask my doctor if the temp was related to the herniated disc. Is this a possibility? Or is there something else?

Hello,

As herniation of the lumbar disc will not lead to the fever. As this is a different pathology altogether and may lead to pain and aches but no fever.

You may be having a long-lasting infection for which a blood test is advised. Based on the reports the medication can be prescribed.

For lumbar spine disc herniation, I will advise doing exercises like - core stability, spinal muscle strengthening exercises, hip muscle strengthening exercises, static Quadriceps, static hamstring and straight leg raise to regain the muscle strength.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
