The pain shall subside when the patient is lying on his/her side and increase when he/she is coughing, defecating or pressing the joint. If the condition is severe, the pain may spread to the bottom and thighs, thus may even lead to paralysis.The causes of disc herniation include various external risk factors like occupational hazards, excessive use of the back muscles, trauma etc. The picture illustrates that the patient is in critical
condition.” Oct 11th, 2014, at 11:10 am, the spine specialists at Tam Tri Sai Gon General Hospital (TMMC Healthcare) successfully performed a disc herniation surgery on Mr. T. After the surgery, the patient was sober, his incision was dry and he hardly experienced any numbness along his legs.
