A slipped disc can press on nearby nerves and cause lower back pain, burning pain, tingling, numbness, or pain spreading into the legs. Symptoms often become worse while bending, lifting weights, coughing, or sitting for long periods. Muscle tightness and inflammation around the affected nerve can also increase discomfort and movement difficulty. Treatment usually focuses on reducing nerve irritation, pain, and muscle spasm while improving movement gradually. Doctors commonly use pain-relieving medicines, anti-inflammatory medicines, muscle relaxants, or medicines that help calm nerve pain, depending on symptom severity. Physiotherapy, posture correction, gentle stretching, and avoiding heavy lifting may also help reduce pressure on the spine. Many people improve gradually over weeks with proper rest and guided exercises rather than complete bed rest. Hot fomentation and core-strengthening exercises may support recovery once severe pain settles. Increasing leg weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, severe numbness, or difficulty walking can indicate stronger nerve compression and may require urgent spine-related medical care.
