Bad news…
I have 3 bulging discs and a torn something around L5…Can’t really remember right now…
Devastated…
Nick, dont let it get you too down. I have two bulging discs at L4-L5, and L5-S1, as well as two dehydrated discs. How you manage it is now very important, and I am sure the physios will sort you out.
Its worth noting that 66% of the working population of Europe have a disc bulge. Whilst I realise they dont do anywhere near the activity level we do, its worth bearing in mind that a well managed disc bulge does not have to be debilitating.
