A member asked:
Broad based disc bulge between l5-s1 and l4-l5 has a a broad based central disc protrusion whay am i in pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 bulging discs: in lumbar spine. these discs may push against nerves thereby causing pain. Non-steroidal pain relievers may help. Physical therapy may help. In general, most patients improve within 6 weeks to 3 months. Surgery is often a last resort and may not provide long term relief. Be patient and follow your doctor's instructions.
