Bulging disc is a
condition mostly related to the lumbar or lower spine of your back.
It is different from a herniated disc on the conception that the
later occurs mostly due to an injury or trauma while the disorder of
the spine is a case of old-age complications.
When we age, the joint bones of the
spine tend to compress due to shrinking of the mucus inside the
joints. The lumbar region is more susceptible to this problem. The
bones of lumbar spine are bigger than other areas of it. Naturally,
heir weight and stress is more compared to other areas. So, the
possibility of a rupture of the discs increases.
What are the symptoms
of lower back bulging disc? The first symptom would be mild pain
along with a tingling affect. Then the symptoms develop to irritating
pain, swelling and heat in the region of rupture. Muscle weakness and
problems in sitting, lying, walking or even standing for long hours
are the symptoms of this condition. Besides these, some other
complications arise if the nerves of some of the respective areas
suffer pinching of the discs.
If the bulged disk strikes the sciatica
nerve, the pain from the back reaches the buttocks and then moves
down to the legs and to areas like thighs, cuffs, or ankles. The
nerves of the bowel and kidneys pass through the lumbar region. The
protrusion of any of these nerves can cause bowel irregularity and
kidney disorders.
Thus, if you want to get rid of such
problems, act now and get some exercise programs to make your lumbar
spine strong and endurable.
