Bulging Disc SymptomsThe discs of your spine, sandwiched between your vertebrae, consist of a jellylike material (the nucleus pulposus) contained within a thin casing (the annulus fibrosis). Often, with aging, one of more discs in your spine will bulge slightly due to a variety of factors. Bulging can be caused by spinal bone spurs pushing out on the disc, collapsed space between vertebrae, and other degenerative conditions. A bulging disc is known as a "contained" spinal disorder because the nucleus pulposus remains encased in the annulus fibrosis. At this stage, a bulging disc is not necessarily a serious problem. In fact, bulging discs are common among much of the population and many people do not experience symptoms. A bulging disc becomes problematic when it presses up against the nerves of the spinal column, causing numbness and/or pain. Bulging Disc Symptoms Depend on Location Some bulging discs may rupture, causing a herniated disc. With proper treatment, patients with bulging disc problems can expect to gain relief from their symptoms.
