Question 2

i had a  disc bulge thelcasm from one  year am using medicines since 7 months but still no results some times less pain some  time more pain can you?

Accepted Answer

Try exercise: Have you undergone physical therapy? Sometimes training your back muscles and other conservative approaches can provide stability to the vertebrae and may have a beneficial impact. See your physician and ask whether physical therapy is right for you. If you develop new neurologic symptoms from the herniated disc, see your physician sooner. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/herniateddisk.html

Question 4

what's a "bulging disc?

Aging issue: As people age, discs lose some of their water content. This causes them to be less able to resist the body weight pressing on them. This causes the disc to bulge ( imagine a marshmallow being squeezed at the top and bottom). I more severe cases the disc can herniation or rupture.

Symptoms are : A bulging disc will usually improve with conservative mgt.  Just because a disc bulges does not mean it is symptomatic.

Question 6

what is a midline disk bulge?

Accepted Answer

This may be normal..: Mri or ct scans of the spine frequently show discs that protrude beyond the edge of the vertebral bodies.  This may be associated with degenerative disc disease and arthritis, but it is such a very common finding, some experts would consider this a normal variant.

Question 7

what is a diffuse bulging disc?

Accepted Answer

See below: Bulging discs are seen in normal individuals. As we age we lose the fluid in our discs which makes them more susceptible wearing out.  As pressure is applied to these discs they start to bulge a little.

Question 8

how do you treat a bulging disc?

Accepted Answer

Too vague: Bulging disks are natural.  We as surgeons do not treat bulging disks unless they are causing nerve irritation.  In these cases we start with therapy, and progress treatment depending on response.  The most invasive treatment is disk decompression which is surgical.  I would suggest you see a spine specialist if you have a specific spine or nerve complaint.

Question 9

whats best fix for bulging discs?

Accepted Answer

Severity and symptom: You can't imagine how many people are walking around with bulging discs and no symptoms, to severe numbness and loss of function. So from nothing to exercises, meds and surgery.

Question 10

is microwave choclate cake dangerous?

Accepted Answer

All cakes are: Cake is oil + sugar + flour, with little or no fiber, and very little protein. That means cake is dangerous (basically, it's junk food). However, good cakes are delicious, so eating a little every now and then is fine to do. How a cake is made (steamed, baked, microwaved, etc...) doesn't add any danger to the cake, but frying it (as in donuts or fried twinkies) adds even more oil to the cake!
