Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The bulged disc in the back is and age related degenerative change of the spine. It can be due to trauma of the spine too. The problem in the knee cap is not related to the back problem and needs a direct examination for diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
