herniated disk - bulging out of central portion of disk in vertebral column Definition for herniated disk A spinal disc herniation, commonly called a "slipped disc", is a medical condition affecting the spine, in which a tear in the outer, fibrous ring (annulus fibrosus) of an intervertebral disc allows the soft, central portion (nucleus pulposus) to bulge out. It is normally a further development of a previously existing disc protrusion, a condition in which the outermost layers of the annulus fibrosus are still intact, but can bulge when the disc is under pressure. some common symptoms impaired sensations in foot (feet) limitation of movement muscle weakness in foot (feet) pain in back some related diagnoses 1 - 7 of 52 diagnoses sciatica trauma spondylosis spondylolisthesis radiculopathy spinal cord trauma Guillain-Barre Syndrome   more do i have 'herniated disk'?
