Can The Feeling Of Ice Cold Water Running Down The Leg Be Associated With The Herniated Discs?
I have been told by my orto surgeon that I need lumbar microdiscectomy surgery to correct a herniated disc that is pressing on a nerve. A couple of days ago I started to feel ice cold water running down my left leg. Could this be associated with the herniated discs?

Hi !
I read carefully your query.
You should run to do vascular doppler ultrasound to exclude any vascular pathology and than than to do lumbar spine MRI to evaluate for disc herniated and
evaluated nerve pathology.
Depend from the pathology you should treatment from specialist for the first from angiologyst and second from neurologist or rheumatologist but it depend a lot of you because you should do sport activity like swimming in quiet phase.
Wish you fast recovery.
