Symptoms of bulging discs
Bulging discs may be the cause of your back discomfort if it is made worse by sitting, bending forward, coughing, and lifting. There could be sciatica, neck, back, or shoulder muscle weakness, as well as pins and needles and weakness. Any alteration in bowel or bladder function is another typical sign of serious disc diseases.
Discomfort brought on by the symptoms of a bulging disc injury may occur in various locations:
- Cervical Spine: This includes your neck, shoulders, arms, and upper back. You may start to feel pain in these areas.
- Lumbar spine: Areas of the lumbar spine include your lower back, hips, buttocks, and lower extremities. These are all areas where a pinched nerve can cause symptoms in the lumbar spine.
- Thoracic spine: Internal organs, the middle back, or the ribs may experience pain from the compressed nerve [1].
