A member asked:

If having 2 discs in your neck that are bulging shouldn't be a source of pain, then what could be causing my neck pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscle, tendon maybe: It is hard to tell. When you discuss this with your physician see what else the exmination shows. The discs may be the culprit but there are other causes to consider. Your evaluation should look for other causes than the discs. They may not be there but you need a comprehensive evaluation of other possible causes.
