Disc Bulge is one of the stages of Disc degeneration happening in spine. It can happen in normal person too but needs attention when it is symptomatic. Symptoms range from Back pain, morning stiffness, radiating leg pain, weakness. Depending upon clinical findings treatment can be titrated ranging from rehabilitation with postural changes, painkiller, steroid and last resort as surgery. 90% of patient gets better with bed rest and posture changes only. If neglected can further detiorates the condition leading to weakness, numbness in foot due to slipped disc.

Thus a proper assesment needed by a Spine Specialist before starting a said line of treatment.
