Disc Bulge

When the inner part of a spinal disc expands and protrudes out of the outer wall, it’s called a disc bulge or bulging disc. The protruded portion may press on a nearby nerve to cause pain.

Disc Bulge Symptoms

Early detection of a bulging disc is quite difficult due to a lack of symptoms in the initial stage.

Only when the disc bulge becomes significant and starts placing pressure on a nerve, one may experience the following symptoms:

  • Tingling sensation or pain in the neck/shoulders/arms/hands/legs
  • Muscle numbness or weakness
  • Issues in maintaining balance and walking
  • Intense pain in case of a severe disc bulge

Mild disc bulge symptoms usually go away after some time. However, severe symptoms necessitate quick diagnosis & subsequent appropriate treatment to avoid complications.

Disc Bulge Causes

Age-related wear and tear of the spinal discs is one of the most common disc bulge causes. As a result, a disc bulge is more likely to occur in older adults than younger ones.

Other common disc bulge causes or risk factors include:

  • Degenerative disc disease leading to spinal osteoarthritis
  • Strain or injury to a spinal disc
  • Obesity or being overweight
  • Poor posture
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Regular smoking

Disc Bulge Diagnosis

Detecting a disc bulge generally requires getting a comprehensive medical exam done, comprising an x-ray and sometimes even an MRI or CT scan. These imaging scans provide detailed images of the spine, helping identify a bulging disc.
