1.that means the disc which is suppose to be in between the vertebrae has slipped and moved posteriorly.
2.And poster we have nerves passing through the foramina, The protruded disk been indenting on the nerve and the spinal chord( theca sac - covering).
3.But depending on the bulge grade, the treatment depends on, starts with a simple back pain exercise to interventional procedures / operations.
4.So see your doctor and get the needful thing done.
