A member asked:
Can a torn paraspinal or muscles in lower back around waist cause for discs to bulge? can torn muscles around the spine cause other problems like dege
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Torn back muscle: Torn muscles are rare, and usually require a significant trauma. Beyond that, torn muscle cannot cause discs to bulge by themselves. If there was a severe trauma, and the spine became unstable, discs could possibly bulge, but the torn muscle itself cannot be the cause alone... Although it certainly can hurt! good luck!
