Back discomfort
Pain may stay around the lower back or change with positions and activity.
Disc-related back pain
If you have been told you have a slipped disc, you may have questions about pain, movement and imaging. Start with what an assessment can clarify.
What you may notice

Symptoms in the leg
Some people also notice pain, tingling or altered sensation below the back.
Certain movements feel harder
Bending, lifting, coughing or prolonged sitting may change symptoms.

There is no single answer for everyone. Your history, current symptoms, activities and preferences help determine the most suitable next step.
Which findings change the next step?
