You have an intervertebral disc in between your vertebrae. It has got outer tough annulus fibrosus and inner soft nucleus pulposus. usually the nucleus pulposus escapes the disc. But at times the annular disc may bulge out. Osteophytes are seen due to degenerative changes in the upper and lower borders of your vertebrae. Disc means probably all over the edge.
There is compression of the disc between the cervical vertebrae 4 and 5, which is leading to bulging out of the disc from all sides.
A bulging disk on the left side.
One of the soft, cushiony discs that separates each bone in your backbone from its neighbor has begun to bulge and put pressure on two of the nerves branching out from the spinal cord.
You don't. The complaints will usually subside after a time.Research shows little or no benefit from an operation.
It depends upon the bulge--how severe or normal it is. If It is hard, then there may be a chance of surgery, but if it is soft and reddish, then it might get treated with some medicines or some other methods much more reliable than surgery. Consult your doctor about your options.
There's a bulge pushing through the ring holding the vertebral disk between L4 and L5. The bulge is narrowing the opening for the spinal cord somewhat, and is also touching both sides of the nerves coming off the spinal cord at L5.
There are. There aren't annular LUNAR eclipses.
I had the same problem that you have & I made the mistake of having surgery on it. I advise people not to go through the surgery because it made me a lot worse than I was before the surgery.
