What is mild disc desiccation or disc bulging?
Disc desication is another way of saying disc degeneration, which in other words is wear asnd tear or arthritis. Discs are located between each bone of the spine and function as shock absorbers so we can move, jump, turn,etc... They also act as a spacer, creating holes on the side of the spine for nerves to exit off of the spinal cord. Disc bulging is literally a disc that is "bulging". This is linked often times to desication because as a disc degenerates it flattens and bulges outward.
Treatments for a Bulging Disc?
The terms bulging disc, pinched nerve, herniated disc and ruptured disc are used interchangeably and this causes much confusion. All of these terms refer to problems with a disc and accompanying pain. The disc is the cushion between vertebrae and when some of the substance on the inside leaks out through the exterior layer, the disc becomes herniated. This can cause a pinched nerve and lead to pain and numbness.Symptoms and DiagnosisPain often accompanies a bulging disc and the location of the pinched nerve will determine its location. A pinched nerve caused by a bulging disc in the lower part of the spine will cause leg pain referred to as sciatica. Pain in the arm or shoulder is caused by a disc problem in the neck. Other symptoms include numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness.The first step in diagnosing a bulging disc is a physical exam where the doctor will test nerve function and muscle strength. Other diagnostic tests include X-rays, MRI, CT scan, myelogram, and nerve tests.Treatments for a Bulging Disc90 percent of people with a bulging disc find relief with exercise and pain medication along with avoiding certain positions. If the pain is severe and does not respond to OTC medication, your doctor may prescribe stronger drugs for overall pain or nerve pain. If you have muscle spasms, muscle relaxers may help and cortisone injections have help reduce inflammation.A physical therapist can help by showing you certain exercise to do that will alleviate pain. Over time, you will be able to advance to exercises that will help strengthen and stabilize your back to help avoid problems in the future. Other treatments include temporary braces, traction, applying heat or ice, and electrical stimulation.In a small percentage of cases, surgery will be required. Usually the part of the disc that is protruding is removed but sometimes the entire disc has to be removed. If that is the case, then the two adjoining vertebrae will be fused together for stability or an artificial disc will be implanted.
Symptoms and Treatments for Bulging Discs?
A bulging disc occurs when the cartilage between spinal vertebrae weaken and exert pressure on adjacent nerves. It is the the outer wall of the cartilage or annulus that is affected. The jelly-like fluid inside the disc, which is called pulposus, becomes displaced as a result and creates undue pressure in the affected areas, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Bulging discs can affect the lower and upper back as well as the neck or cervical area of the spine. However, the most common types of bulging discs are those that occur between the L-4 and L-5 lumbar vertebrae in the curve of the lower back. Bulging discs can be highly painful and disabling. They are often caused by accidents or heavy lifting. Most doctors recommend that bulging disc sufferers rest when they suspect such an injury. They can then verify the injury through a Cat Scan or MRI. The problem with bulging discs is that they can turn into herniated or ruptured discs, where the pulposus actually flows outside the cartilage. The disc has a much better chance of repairing itself when the pulposus remains inside the disc. Most doctors prescribe medications like ibuprofen for bulging discs. People can also apply ice to the affected area at 20-minute intervals. Once the inflammation subsides, heat can be used to facilitate the healing process. Heat promotes blood flow. Blood contains oxygen and nutrients which can help heal the bulging disc. A doctor may also recommend certain exercises for bulging discs, once the pain and inflammation have been minimized. Exercise helps strengthen muscles around the injury, which provides better support for the bulging disc. One exercise involves lying on the floor and pulling both knees up to the chest. Hold the motion for five seconds, then bring both feet back to the floor simultaneously. Individuals can also alternately pull one leg at a time to the chest. Pressing the lower back to the floor is another strength-building exercise. Those with cervical bulging discs can hold both hands up at right angles and pull their arms back to strengthen muscles in the neck and traps.

How would you describe a prolapsed disc?
A prolapsed disc is another term for a herniated or bulging disc; it is sometimes also called a slipped disk. This bulging or prolapse of a disc occurs when the disc material is torn due to injury (falling), bearing excessive work loads (lifting too much), or as part of the aging process (disc tissue dries out and thins as we get older). A disc is a special kind of cartilage that is found in the spine. The purpose of the discs is to serve as a cushion between spinal bones to absorb shock and allow movement of the spine. Another purpose is to act as spacer to keep the spinal bones apart so there is enough room so that the spinal nerves do not become pinched or irritated as they branch out from the spine. Pain often happens when a disc prolapses, depending on which of the 24 discs of the spine has prolapsed or "slipped." Pain can be felt in the low back, legs, neck or arms, all depending on which disc and where the nerves in the affected area are located. The pain might be mild or severe, and can be accompanied by muscle weakness or numbness.
