A herniated disk, which can occur in any part of the spine, most often occurs in the lower back. Depending on where the herniated disk is, it can result in pain, numbness or weakness in an arm or a leg. Many people have no symptoms from a herniated disk. For people who do have symptoms, the symptoms tend to improve over time. More @Wikipedia
