This situation usually produces Back pain. If the disc herniation and bulging is mild, back exercises (stretching and stregthening) are often the safest and best form of treatment. If pain is intractable, then surgery may be needed. (Back surgery has a spotty track record, due to the need to cut through back muscles, which then weaken the back and make for problematic recovery at times). As always, consult your physician (and, possibly, a good neurosurgeon) for your particular situation.
This is called a broad based disc herniation
Posterior bulging refers to the protrusion of a structure, typically a disc, towards the back (posterior) side of the spine. This condition often occurs in the context of a herniated or degenerated intervertebral disc, where the inner gel-like material (nucleus pulposus) pushes against the outer layer (annulus fibrosus), potentially pressing on nearby nerves. Symptoms may include pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs, depending on the severity and location of the bulge. It is important to seek medical evaluation for appropriate diagnosis and management.
