A member asked:

I have been diagnosed with bulging disc in l4 and herniated disc in l5. i also suffer from utis at least every other month...what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

UTIs not related: First, check with a urologist on UTI & frequency as not related to back issues. 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.
