[|Human|] HI I have a cervical disc herniation at c5-c6 which is also impinging the spinal canal. The pain I felt was in my left arm. Lately I have started feeling some pain radiating at the back of my right leg (from my tight to knee to calf). Could this pain be related or is it something else related to the lower back?
[|AI|]  Hello, As the pain in legs which is radiating in nature is due to lumbar Radiculopathy. An MRI is advised. Also, when there is a weakness of the muscles there are possibilities where the spinal column will have more pressure on the intervertebral disc leading to nerve root impingement and radiating pain symptoms.  Post MRI, rest, medicine, hot water fermentation, the exercise which will include - core stability, spinal muscle strengthening, hip muscle strengthening, lower limb strengthening will be advised. Also for the cervical region, you need to do exercises which helps improve the stability of the cervical spine and also the shoulder. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
