Intervertebral Disc Disease: Symptoms
Most patients affected by a disc herniation will present with one of the following scenarios:
- Neck/back pain without neurological deficits
- Neck/back pain with proprioception deficits (knuckling of paws), and uncoordinated motor function (ataxia or paresis)
- Proprioception deficits/paresis without obvious neck or back pain
- Neck/back pain, no motor function (paralysis) with deep pain present to the distal extremities
- Paralysis with no obvious deep pain to the distal extremities
