A member asked:

What is the relationship between disc bulge and abdomen tension?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None: A disc bulge is a normal variant or finding on an imaging study, not a cause of any problems unless you thought that it may have been a problem and that made you feel tension in your abdomen.
