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.

A minimal annular bulge at the C4-C5 level refers to a slight outward protrusion of the intervertebral disc at this cervical spine segment. This condition is often asymptomatic but can sometimes lead to nerve compression, resulting in neck pain or radiating symptoms in the arms. It is typically diagnosed through imaging studies like an MRI. Treatment may include physical therapy, pain management, or observation, depending on the severity of symptoms.
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.
