Between each and every one of your vertebrae, there is a cartilage disc that seperates the vertebrae from each other.
Basically, at L5 and S1 (lower back, the disc that is between Lumbar vertebrae number 5 and the first sacral vertebrae) there is a diffuse (spread out) bulge. On top of that, there is also some protrusion of the central part of the disc.

∙ 11y agoThe disc between the first and second lumbar vertebrae is a bit wide and has escaped its circling band at one paint. That escape (herniation) is pressing on the sac that surrounds the spinal cord. Disc bulging and herniation are common findings in MRI of both patients with symptoms and patients without symptoms. This finding is not a diagnosis for back symptoms by itself. Your health care provide will put together this information along with your history, physical, and lab tests to determine, if possible, the likely cause for your Back pain.
