Answers:
A disc bulge is where the disc changes shape because of overeight of the abdomen or not sitting with good posture.
Gradually yhe disc becomes curved on the edges, and can begin to puff out like a water baloon, and after a lot more abuse the disc begins to start slipping out of the vertibrae and then comes intense pain,
