I have the following:
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{report}
\usepackage{graphicx,amssymb,amstext,amsmath}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{bigints}
\begin{document}
$$
\bigintss^x_0 \sqrt{1+\left(\frac{dy}{dz}\right)^2}dz
$$
\end{document}
My problem is that the lower limit is too far to the right. Any suggestions as to how to move it closer to the integral sign?
