  • What does a slipped disc feel like?

    I've been having this sharp pain in this one specific area on my spine. It hurts when I breathe in and bend in certain directions. Could this be a disc problem? My arm is also really tingly.

    Thanks!

    Yes, it could be a disc problem. But, there are many types of disc problems (slippage, herniation, extrusion, etc.). You should see your scoliosis specialist to get a diagnosis.
