Lumbar disc protrusion caused sciatic nerve pain instead of pain in the waist because the lumbar disc protrusion pressed on the sciatic nerve. Lumbar disc protrusion was mainly caused by long-term strain or other factors that caused damage to the lumbar disc. When the protruded disc pressed against the sciatic nerve, it would cause sciatic pain. This kind of pain was usually manifested as pain in the buttocks and legs, and there was no obvious low back pain. Lumbar disc protrusion could also cause symptoms such as lumbar muscle strain and tendon sprain, which would further aggravate the discomfort in the waist. It should be noted that not all leg pain is caused by lumbar disc protrusion. There are other reasons such as cervical vertebrae disease, hip, knee arthrosis, etc. that may cause leg pain. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and treatment were very important.

However, there was no mention of a special medicine for the pain of the waist disc pressing on the leg.
Sciatic nerve pain caused by a lumbar disc protrusion could lead to leg pain. Lumbar disc protrusion would compress the sciatic nerve root, causing radiating pain and numbness in the legs. The symptoms were pain that extended from the buttocks down to the back of the thighs, calves, and feet. Lumbar disc protrusion usually pressed on nearby nerves, causing leg pain. Leg pain was usually more serious than low back pain. Therefore, leg pain may occur during recovery from sciatic nerve pain caused by lumbar vertebrae.
When it comes to cervical cancer and leg pain, it's a complex situation. The cancer can disrupt the normal function of the pelvic region. As the cancer grows, it can cause inflammation in the surrounding tissues. This inflammation can then radiate pain to the legs. Also, if the cancer metastasizes to the bones in the pelvis or lower spine, which are connected to the leg bones through joints and ligaments, it can also result in leg pain. In addition, the body's immune response to the cancer can sometimes contribute to the pain in the legs as well.
