A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bulges are normal : In terms of a disc bulge, they are normal findings. Even herniated discs can occur in asymptomatic people. For back health, you need to exercise regularly, particularly core exercise & cardiovascular regimens. Watch your weight & don't smoke. Make sure you have good vitamin d and calcium intake as well. The disc bulge is not the source of your symptoms.
