My husband had a herniated disk and has been in severe severe pain for the past 2 days, especially today. I just put the heating pad on it to try and ease the pain and he is now saying that he had a bubbling/popping/twitching feeling going on in his back. What could this possibly be? The muscles relaxing?
Hi, thanks for providing a brief history of yours husband. You can try doing icing over the lower back and the symptoms will come down. Since you are mentioning he has disc herniation that means you have visited an orthopedic. Kindly discuss with the orthopedic about taking physical therapy, as with the use of therapeutic ultrasound and TENS your pain will come down. Later on there will be an implementation of the exercises for strengthening the muscles of the core and spine. It will help strengthen the spine and give recovery. I have seen many patients with same issues of disc herniation and 100% have recovered well with medicine and physical therapy. With the grace of God I wish your husband a speedy recovery
