A member asked:

I have neck spasms and abuldging back disk, can i get disability at 45?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Most 45 year olds have a bulging disc. Neck spasms could be a sign of irritation to the muscle, disc, or nerves. There are many non-surgical treatment options that can be prescribed by your physician. The good news is at your age you will likely get better and not need disability.
