I have been told by my orto surgeon that I need lumbar microdiscectomy surgery to correct a herniated disc that is pressing on a nerve. A couple of days ago I started to feel ice cold water running down my left leg. Could this be associated with the herniated discs?
Hi ! I read carefully your query. You should run to do vascular Doppler ultrasound to exclude any vascular pathology and then than to do lumbar spine MRI to evaluate for disc herniated and evaluated nerve pathology.Depend on from the pathology you should treatment from specialist for the first from anthologist and second from neurologist or rheumatologist, but it depend on a lot of you because you should do sport activity like swimming in quiet phase. Wish you fast recovery. Chat Doctor.
