These Side Effects of a Slipped Disk Can Alter Your Life

Any injury to your back and/or neck has the potential to alter your life in a number of ways. While there is a solution to every problem, until you find relief you could be faced with quite a bit of pain and discomfort.

A slipped disk, for example, is typically associated with these side effects:

·      Pain and numbness, which typically occurs on one side of the body

·      Pain that radiates into other body parts, such as your legs and/or arms

·      Pain that worsens after you have been sitting or standing for an extended period of time

·      Pain that worsens when you lay down to rest at night

·      Muscle weakness

Unfortunately, until you treat the slipped disk itself you will find it a challenge to eliminate these side effects.

On the plus side, once you receive professional treatment and have a recovery plan in place, there’s a good chance these side effects will begin to diminish.

Note: the side effects of a slipped disk are also associated with other types of back and neck injuries. For this reason, you should receive a professional diagnosis to ensure that you’re receiving the proper treatment.
