A disk bulge or "bulging disk" is rather common in adults, and often with no symptoms.
However, when a bulging disk herniates (opens), it leaks the cushioning material that is in the disk. When this occurs, the spinal cord can become trapped between degenerating bones surrounding the spinal column.
As far as how it affects you "for life", if the condition can be surgically corrected, the person may still have pain and limited mobility. Without surgery, the condition can cause the spinal cord to become inflamed and irritated, resulting in other problems such as neuropathy (burning or weird pain symptoms) or tremors. At the extreme, complete herniations can cause the spinal cord to have interrupted nerve communication and could in some cases proceed to paralysis.

What is a diffused annular bulge?
Between each vertebra are thick disks: these comprise of a thick wall on the outside, filled with a thick gel. These act as "shock absorbers". Around the outside of the disk is a thick material called the annulus (because it goes around the outside of the disk)*. Over the years these disks begin to wear out and flatten or possibly bulge out (like squashing a marshmallow). * In the early days of medical exploration --back in the days of the early romans-- the early philosophers and anatomists (studiers or the body) named the parts of the body from the things they saw in normal everyday life. For instance: when they dissected the spinal cord out, they noticed that at the very bottom of the cord there were white stringy things hanging down. Because it looked like a horses tail, they named it "cauda equina", or horses tail. The name is used in medicine today... Neat, huh...!!The annulus is the material outside of a vertebral disc. When an annular disc bulge occurs, the disc material becomes compressed.
