I have three bulging disks in my lower spine. I dont know who told you bulging disks doesnt cause pain. I am BAD pain every day for the past three year.
Amen to that, I've got two bulging discs in the cervical spine, with the narrowing disc space causing rather forceful pressure on the nerve and can truthfully say it f%$#&ing well hurts
Is surgery not an option? I had 3 "bulging" (herniated) discs. Went through all the tx including countless epidurals. Nothing helped. All that pain for the last 3 years. Finally had surgery 3 weeks ago and I feel better than before it was done. I still have surgical pain, but all the lower back/leg pain is gone. From my own experience I would encourage anyone to have it repaired if possible.
Hi All,
So in your opinions, small disc protrusions can cause pain? I have been having right sided lower back pain for 6 months. I had an MRI in Oct. which showed a very small right lateral protrusion of the L4-5 intervertebral disc resulting in minor right L4-5 neural foraminal narrowing. Do you all think that this is the cause of my pain. The pain the I experience does not radiate to the leg, but does occationally cause right sided groin pain. The pain does not seem to be increased with activity. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi there just been looking at your comment i am also suffering with disc bulges in my neck C5, C6 and C7. I have bad pain in my neck, shoulders and also suffer with bad migraines. I have tried physiotherapy which just made matters worse I am currently on medication to prevent the migraines and Tramadol for the extreme pain. You mention surgery can I ask who you went to see and whether you could pass on their details.
