A member asked:
Is it possible to have abdominal discomfort and bloating with bulging l3-4 and l5-s1 disc and herniated l4-5 disc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Herniated discs at that level would produce symptoms in the lower extremities. Bloating and abdominal discomfort are not typically associated with disc problems at all.
