What Is The Cause And Long Term Effect Of Painful Spinal Bulge ?
Hello, I have been diagnosed with L4-L5 bulge spinal bulge. I m an active person and loves playing badminton. I have been resting for quite sometime and have started playing again. When I play and hit smashes, I get a small pain in the back and it will go within 1 hour after I stop playing. Will this lead to complication or is it general pain since Im playing after 1 year?
