to answer your primary question: slipped discs in the back do not lead to cancer. there's no relationship i know of between disc disease and any type of cancer. so at least you can set your mind at ease about that. i'm sorry you're having pain though. you deserve to have your pain treated. please make an appointment with your primary care provider to discuss your pain and hopefully leave with a treatment plan. if your primary care provider doesn't prefer to treat chronic pain he or she may refer you a pain specialist. physical therapy also might be helpful. i wish you all the best with this!
i ve slipped disks since 4 yrs i dont have leg numbness but back pain. does slip disks transform into cancer in long run. i have an mri scan and it shows that l3-l4 l4-l5 l5-s1 are the ones which are affected. i have consulted a spine surgeon and he said that as long as i don't feel numbness in my leg no surgery is required and the back pain will settle down on itself. he also said that the leg nerves are not been pressed by the slipped disks that's why i don't have the leg numbness. he also said that the surgery cannot relieve me from back pain. but even after 4 years i don't get rid of the back pain.
