The common symptoms of lumbar discogenic injury are not always experienced the same way by each patient. Many patients may experience chronic lower back pain. When reported, they have stated they feel the pain radiating into the buttocks and the legs.   This chronic pain may be felt bilaterally or unilaterally but without radicular pain. Many of the patients may also experience sitting intolerance as well. Several tests will need to be conducted in order to determine the bottom line for the patients that are dealing with lumbar discogenic pain. Frequently, a questionnaire will be provided as a way to evaluate and receive more information based on what each patient may be dealing with. Often, your pain will be monitored throughout the patient’s program and during treatment to ensure they are receiving the best treatment and noticing changes.
