Nonspecific: Believe it or not, scoliosis does not cause pain for most patients - unless the scoliosis is very severe. Similarly, a disk bulge is often of no consequence, and is simply a normal finding as we age. See a physician (consider seeing a neurologist since you have numbness) for further evaluation.

Can a multilevel bulging disc in my l4-l5 cause my legs to ache constantly and affect my knee joints making it difficult to walk? At times my left knee will go numb and they both feel like they will give out. Just wondering if it's all connected?
