WHAT ARE SYMPTOMS OF A HERNIATED DISC?
椎间盘突出症状
The symptoms of a herniated disc depend on the exact level of the spine where the disc herniation occurs and whether or not nerve tissue is being irritated.
要了解椎间盘病症，我们要看脊椎的的受损程度，神经组织是否遭到破坏。
A disc herniation may not cause any symptoms.

However, disc herniation can cause local pain at the level of the spine affected.
然而，受损脊椎会出现疼痛感。
If the disc herniation is large enough, the disc tissue can press on the adjacent spinal nerves that exit the spine at the level of the disc herniation.
若椎间盘突出面积过大，椎间盘周围组织挤压脊神经，导致脊神经从脊髓分离。
This can cause shooting pain in the distribution of that nerve and usually occurs on one side of the body.

For example, a disc herniation at the level between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae of the low back can cause a shooting pain down the buttock into the back of the thigh and down the leg.
比方说，若下背部4-5节椎骨发生椎间盘突出，从臀部到大腿后部，再到腿部都会感到疼痛。
Sometimes this is associated with numbness and tingling in the leg.

The pain often is worsened upon standing and decreases with lying down.
