Does Hernia Or Slipped Disc Cause Burning Sensation In Arms & Legs?

My husbands arms and legs hurt. Sometimes it s a burning sensation sometimes it s dull pain. Sometimes it s only his legs; sometimes only his arms. We had x-rays done which showed some calcium deposits in his spinal cord (neck). Along his back, there isn t a lot of room between spinal bones. We were told he may have a a herniated or slipped disc which may be causing these problems. Does this sound logical? What else could it be? what tests should be done?

Hello,

A herniated disc in the neck region can cause nerve compression and cause these symptoms.

However, we have to rule out conditions like peripheral neuropathy.

Consult a neurologist and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
