A member asked:
I have three bulging discs since aug 2010 and have done everything every doc has asked me to do and nothing helps! what's my next step?

Bulges: Bulging discs are best thought of as asymptomatic incidental findings the medical evidence they are painful is weak biased i would focus on finding the true pain generator not all avoid surgery in the setting that nothing helps usually means the pain generator is unknown so surgeryvis ill advised keep trying.
