A member asked:

How serious is a %50-%75 ddd and bulging disc for a 28 yrs old male? my whole back muscles hurts so bad when i stand for +5 minutes for 1 month. help please

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: In order to give you a more informed answer would need more information. You say you have discomfort for the past month. If there was no significant precipitating event, then likely you are experiencing muscle spasm radiating up and down the spine. The location of the narrowing (50-70%) depends on the location in the spine to say how serious it is for you.
