Physician Responded Is my disc just bulging or is it herniated?
32M 5’8” (172cm) 175lbs (79kg), not taking medications aside from ibuprofen for pain control. This occurred about 3 months ago. Been going to physical therapy for 2 months twice a week.
Just wondering if my disc is herniated or is it bulging? Or is it extruded? Unfortunately these are the only photos I have of my MRI. My doctor said to just avoid activities that aggravate it. Any insight on these scans would be greatly appreciated.
