These are the most common symptoms of lumbar disk disease:
With a lower back (lumbar) herniated disc that’s causing leg pain, it’s generally advisable that patients try 6–12 weeks of conservative (non-surgical) treatment. When conservative treatments aren’t providing significant relief after several weeks or months, surgery usually becomes an option. One surgical option is lumbar disc replacement.
Lumbar disk disease may occur when a disc in the low back area of the spine bulges or herniates from between the bony area of the spine. Lumbar disk disease causes lower back pain and leg pain and weakness that is made worse by movement and activity. The first step in treatment is to reduce pain and reduce the risk of further injury to the spine.

Lumbar radiculopathy is an inflammation of a nerve root in the lower back, which causes symptoms of pain or irritation in the back and down the legs. This condition usually involves the sciatic nerve and therefore is also called sciatica.

"A bulging disc is like letting air out of a car tire. The disc sags and looks like it is bulging outward. With a herniated disc, the outer covering of the disc has a hole or tear. This causes the nucleus pulposus (jelly-like center of the disc) to leak into the spinal canal."

A lumbar discectomy surgery 101 is considered a “decompression” spinal surgery. A discectomy is sometimes called “herniated disc surgery.” If you are one of them who have a lumbar herniated disc (a fractured disc in your lower spine) and your doctor has advised for surgery, possibilities are you will be developing a lumbar discectomy.
When it comes to discectomy surgery, the ruptured portion (nucleus pulposus) that is rubbing against your vertebrae and spine is removed. This means that your orthopedic spine specialist will require ingress to your lower spinal part in the middle of the procedure.
The ICD 10 CM code (M51.16) can also be used to clarify conditions or terms like the addressing of herniation of intervertebral lumbar disc with sciatica, numbness or tingling of the lumbar spine, nucleus pulposus herniation, herniation of core pulposus of the lumbar intervertebral disc, lumbago with sciatica, lumbar disc prolapse with radiculopathy, and so on.
Lumbar disc herniation is a bone rupture of the annulus fibrosis (fibrocartilagenous material) that encompasses the intervertebral disc. This fracture involves removing the disc's central part containing a gelatinous material termed the nucleus pulposus.
In the case of a lumbar herniated disc, a spine chiropractor can help decrease the pain triggered by a herniated disc. Chiropractic treatment techniques for the lumbar herniated disc include spinal manipulation, physical therapy, and muscle-building exercises.
