Bulging disc....HELP?!
Question:
Bulging disc....HELP?
Any one else here have severe back pain because of a bulging disc? If so what pain medication works the best for you? I currently take Vicodin but it doesn't work much.
Answers:
Pain medication will only provide a temporary relief...this is because the pain is due to a mechanical force (the position of the disc has changed and putting pressure on mechanoreceptors that stimulate the pain response)...specific movements or techniques should be employed to change the position of the disc.
I recommend seeing a PT with MDT experience (http://www.mckenziemdt.org) or one with manual therapy experience.
