Yes, fluid can leak from a spinal disc, particularly in cases of a herniated or bulging disc. When the inner gel-like material of the disc, called nucleus pulposus, protrudes through the outer layer, it can lead to leakage. This can irritate nearby nerves and result in pain, numbness, or weakness in the extremities. Proper medical evaluation is essential for managing symptoms and determining the best course of treatment.
