What to do for the pain in my hamstring and lower leg?
Patient: I have been diagnosed with a bulging disc.  I have had this for 3 months and just noticed blood in my stools.  Should I go back to doctor?  The pain is still occurring daily, but has improved.  I pain shoots down into hamstring and lower leg.  It is affecting my daily life.  Thank you. Doctor: Hello,Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.I read your question and understood your concern.The blood in the stool is not related directly with the bulging disc but maybe with medications that you are taking. You need to go to the doctor for this bleeding.After you clear the bleeding problem then you can take care for the bulging disc problem as it is not so emergent as the bleeding in stool.I wish you quick recovery.Dr. Selmani
