>about 5 years ago i had a herniated L5/S1 disc, which left me with pins and needles in my left foot but worse to that penis pain and burning when urinating, also extreme pain having sex especially when i orgasm. i have had numerous injections in the spine and two epidurals which have made my problem worse. having read as much as i can on the subject i come to the conclusion that the disc is leaking chemicals that are irritating the sympathatic nerves. have you ever heard of this your reply would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds far more like a pinched nerve. The stuff in the discs is not an irritant to nerves, except to the extent there is physical pressure.
