What Causes Numbness In The Buttock And Legs?

I have a herniated disk in the lower part of my back (near the small of my back). For the past week or so, I have noticed a little numbing in my butt and the back part of my legs. Today, I have had sharp pains in my lower right abdomen that come and go. (My right, not the right of someone looking at me.) can these be related? And what should I do?

Hi,

The pains in your lower right abdomen may be unrelated to the herniated disc disease, numbness and pain in legs are related. I suggest you to be checked by your Doctor for conditions such appendicitis, kidney stones. Also a reevaluation of your herniation is necessary since there is progression of the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
