After sustaining a herniated disc in the lower back, how long does it take for pain to radiate down the leg?
Apr 9th
I have 2 herniated discs in my back (L5/S1, L4). I’ve been injured w/o specific treatment for the discs for a year. It took 3 1/2 months for pain to go from my back to my leg (w/glute and hip pain developing steadily during that time). I’ve been decently, but not overly, active. Does it usually take that long?

How long will it take to heal neck pain caused by exercising in a wrong manner?
Sep 30th
I have been practicing yoga since January this year and suffering from severe pain in the neck and fingers of the hands ever since. It was only a couple of days back that I realized that I was exercising in a wrong manner which caused the pain. I have stopped exercising for the last two days. There has been about 5% improvement in the pain since. How long will it take to heal completely? Will I require surgery?
How long until my neck pain goes away while seeing a chiropractor?
May 18th
I’ve been going to a chiropractor for 9 weeks now, going twice a week. I started out with severe neck and shoulder pain. The pain has decreased drastically, but still have some pain. My mid back is extremely tight and not adjusting when I go. My dr. says neck and shoulder pain take longer to fix, but how long will I continue to have pain?
Ooops, I just read that says 9 weeks, I meant to type 3 weeks.
How long can back pain before periods last?
Apr 10th
I had to take Plan B twice in the past 30 days and I was supposed to get my period this weekend around Sunday or Monday. On Sunday, I started to get cramps and lower back pain which I normally get right before my period. I expected to get my period on Monday, but it didn’t come. My cramps/back pain continued and are continuing today (Tuesday). I feel like I should get my period any second but it’s not coming! How long does this pre-menstrual back pain last before you get your period?
