Can Severe Push On Back Cause A Bulging Disc?

Hi can being pushed in the back quite severely cause a bulging disc? When I was pushed the front of me went into the kitchen bench n my neck went back wards, instantly I felt pain n last February I had my c6/7 disc removed. I am 44 and up until 3 years ago I had never suffered any back or neck pain or been injured in that area. I am still feeling a lot of pain especially around my neck and different ways I move my right arm I get a severe pain and my arm goes like Im paralysed down one side,
thank you

Hi,

Sorry to hear about the accident. You need to get checked by an orthopedic for any possibility of fracture or disc injury. Till then you can apply hot packs on the painful area of neck and back. You need to were a soft collar to prevent neck movements. Avoid vigorous movements of arm. Avoid any kind of exercise or straining your neck and back. You can do static abdominals, bridging exercise for your back pain.

Hope this helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
