A member asked:
Is a broad based cervical disc bulge the same thing as a herniated disc. i keep seeing it called a broad based disc herniation online.

Not exactly: A disc bulge may not be a herniation. Both can possibly impinge on the cord and the nerves. They are not related to your scleritis or your red puffy feet . More importantly does the disc bulge call Aide with any neurologic changes you have. These are things to discuss with your physician
