Thai people, beyond doctors, wouldn't understand what that meant. Just save yourself the pain and call it a backache.

If you said 'herniated disc' in English to the doctors, they'll know what it is. My gf is a nurse and she knew it.

Have to disagree with you there mr narak, the people i've been telling seem to understand what i'm saying and they're not doctors. In fact a couple of them finished off the word for me as it's quite a mouthful. The doctor i went to see, who's a bone and muscle specialist told me, i had a hernia.

Actually a slipped disc is technically a hernia.

The Wikipedia entry for 'hernias' states: Many organs or parts of organs can herniate through many orifices. The most common develop in the abdomen, although another common hernia involves spinal discs in which a tear in the outer, fibrous ring (annulus fibrosus) of an intervertebral disc (discus intervertebralis) allows the soft, central portion (nucleus pulposus) to bulge out.

So there you go.

Technically you're right, but if we're being technical then it would be called a herniated disc, rather than just the general term of hernia. Wikiwhodia?
