A member asked:
Protruding lower spine "disk", should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No not concerned. It has been shown that 30 percent of people over 35 and 90 percent of people have at least one degenerative disc in the spine; so most patients will develop this at some point.
