What is a herniated disc?
Between each pair of vertebrae (bones) in the spine is a disc that provides a cushion for the bones — a shock absorber of sorts. Each disc consists of a soft interior (called a nucleus) with a tough outer layer (called an annulus). If that outer layer tears, the nucleus can bulge out or even fragment. That condition is called a herniated disc, also called a slipped disc or bulging disc.

● Your ability to walk or stand on your toes
● Whether you can feel certain sensations such as pinpricks
● Your ability to flex and extend your ankle
● Your reflexes (e.g. striking the deep tendons in the knee, bicep, elbow, or ankle with a reflex hammer)

i have been searching everywhere to find the answer to this question. i have not found as much info as i'd hoped, but i did find a youtube video of a doctor discussing this issue who says that the answer is yes (search "herniated disc menstruation" and scroll down; you'll see it). i have had more painful menstrual cramps since the herniated disc. i also sometimes have pain that feels like cramping when not on my period on the right side of my uterus (my disc causes sciatica on the right side of my body).

What are the options to relieve herniated disc pain?
the best course of action is medication and physical therapy.the next step is steroid injections in your spine.If that doesn't work then surgery.Doctors follow an algorithim and because most are afraid of the DEA expect NSAIDS(which destroy your stomach)muscle relaxors which don't really address the problem and anti-convulsants which do work to a certain extent and have helped me signifigantly.Of course the best treatment I find are opiates which have the potential for addiction and why most doctors are afraid to prescribe.Good luck.
How dangerous in back surgery for slipped disk?
"There are several dangers associated with a herniated disk. Firstly, continued irritation of an already herniated disk will cause increased pain and discomfort as well as some loss of mobility. Further dangers might include those associated with surgery, should the condition require it."
What types of treatment are available for herniated discs?
That depends on the cause of the pain and whether the pain is of recent onset or chronic (ongoing, longstanding). If you do not already know the causative factor/s of the pain, first check with you own physician/general practitioner. In my experience, for chronic pain a TENS machine (used with your physician/general practitioner's blessing) can provide effective natural pain relief for many (but not all) people. You can buy them for home use and they are about the size of a mobile 'phone.
