How do I know you might have an L5-S1 Disc Bulge… even before seeing your MRI?” As a spine specialist, your body often tells me more than your scan does — if you know where to look. Here are the classic clues I look for: 1. Gluteal Pain That deep, nagging ache in your glutes (buttocks) that often worsens with movement — it’s one of the most common signs I spot. 2. Outer Foot Numbness When you describe numbness or a ‘pins-and-needles’ sensation along the outer side of your foot and ankle, my mind immediately thinks of L5-S1 nerve root involvement. 3. Absent Ankle Reflex A simple reflex test: when I tap your Achilles tendon and there’s no sharp ankle jerk or it’s noticeably weaker on the painful side — this is another classic sign pointing towards nerve compression at L5-S1. These signs, combined with your story and symptoms, often give me a clear picture — even before the MRI report lands in my hands. Your MRI confirms the diagnosis, but your body tells the real story. Your spine deserves early care — don’t wait for it to shout. Listen to the whispers. #BackPainRelief #DiscBulge #SpineHealth #SpineCare #SpineSurgeon #NervePain #SciaticaRelief #OrthopedicTips #PhysioAndSpine #BackPainAwareness #ChronicPainRelief #PostureMatters #InjuryPrevention #HealthySpine #physiotherapy
