Yes, a bulging disc can potentially cause spinal fluid blockage if it protrudes enough to compress nearby structures, such as the spinal cord or nerve roots. This compression may lead to inflammation or other changes that can disrupt the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). However, significant blockage is more commonly associated with conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options.

If someone experiences unusual symptoms, they should consult a healthcare professional.
