Pain, numbness or tingling in the hand, fingers or down the leg into the foot or toes can indicate a permanent injury such as a herniated or ruptured disk. Many times symptoms in the leg or hands are caused by an impingement of the nerve root by a fragment of the damaged disk. Early diagnosis and treatment are important. While surgery is not always indicated it will be an option discussed by your treating physician. Diagnosis and treatment of this injury requires an expert in the field of neurology or orthopedic medicine. Attorney Jim Donelan is familiar with this injury and can direct you to a competent medical professional.
