Is Travelling Safe While Having Herniation At L5 S1?
I have a large herniation at L5 S1 which is causing leg weakness, pins and needles throughout the entire leg, loss of feeling on the outside of my foot and now I m experiencing pain in my rectum. I am supposed to fly from Halifax NS to Richmond VA in 2 weeks and return 4 days later. Is that ok to do? Thanks, Wendy

Hello,
It looks from your details that you may be suffering from herniated disc with red flag signs of herniation. I advise you to consult to your doctor immediately for treatment. Delay in treatment may permanently damage your nerves.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
