Yes, lifting something too heavy can lead to a bulging disc, especially if proper lifting techniques are not used. When excessive force is applied to the spine, it can cause the intervertebral discs to protrude or bulge, potentially compressing nearby nerves. This is more likely to occur if the lift involves twisting or bending at the waist rather than using the legs. It's important to lift with care and maintain good posture to reduce the risk of injury.
