A member asked:

I have three herniated discs in lumbar region and two bulging discs in the cervical area. all are very painful. could this be apart of a condition?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Osteoarthritis: Yes, both are due to osteoarthritis, degenerative spinal disease. Herniated disc compresses nerve roots exiting from spine giving rise to pain.
