Can i fly with a bulging disc ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Plan your trip. The pressure from descent will,have negligible effect n your disc bulges. How you lift and carry your luggage is a different matter. Learn ergonomic lift and carry techniques ( never lift while twisting) . Get up every 30 minutes if a long trip
