Moreover, smoking “is believed that smoking lessens the oxygen supply to the disk and causes more rapid degeneration”.
A herniated disk can lead to:
- Lower back pain
- Sharp, shooting pain that extends from the buttocks down the back of one leg (sciatica)
- Numbness or a tingling sensation in the leg or foot
- Weakness in the leg and/or foot
- Loss of bladder or bowel control.
“For the majority of patients, a herniated lumbar disk will slowly improve over a period of several days to weeks,” the experts noted.
