Our spine contain shock absorber discs in between bones. Some time there is tear in these and disc material herniate in canal and can cause pinching of nerve. It can cause back pain and leg pain. If you are having these symptoms then disc herniation is the cause. Treatment consist of physiotherapy, pregabalin and Methylcobal tablet.
