Below your waist, the spinal cord separates into a group of long nerve roots called the cauda equina. In rare cases, a herniated disc can compress these nerves, leading to symptoms such as:
Pain, numbness or leg weakness
Incontinence or difficulty urinating
Loss of sensation on the inner thighs and the area around the rectum
If a herniated disc is causing nerve damage, you may need emergency surgery to prevent permanent weakness or paralysis.
Some law firms settle herniated disc cases as quickly as possible for whatever money the insurance company is willing to offer. At Rue Law Firm, lawyers wait until you complete your medical treatment. Only then will they know what your future needs may be.
