No: The reason for the difference is the tuning of the signal as it is read on the film. The fluid dries out of a disc that is injured. The injury is there because of ligament that are loose in the back. If you have the pain , contact a doctor that does prolotherapy to help you. Visit www.Getprolo.Com or www.Aaomed.Org to learn about prolotherapy and find a doctor to help you.

Bulges: Disc bulges arenest t thought of as asymptomatic incidental findings so they give no useful information as to the location of your current pain except it goes a long way of ruling out many known pain generators trying to repair something that is normal and painless is pointless continuing search for scource of true pain generator is useful.
