Disc bulge is a common cause of back and neck pain with radiating pain to the arms or legs, seen frequently in office workers, IT professionals, drivers and active adults. It occurs when the soft disc between the vertebrae bulges out due to wear and tear or excess pressure, pressing on nearby nerves. This can cause pain in the lower back radiating to the buttock and leg or neck pain radiating to the shoulder and hand.[sciatica]
It develops due to prolonged sitting, forward bent posture, frequent lifting or bending, weak core and gluteal muscles, tight hamstrings and hip flexors, poor ergonomics, and lack of spinal stability. Patients typically report back or neck pain worsened by sitting, bending, coughing or sneezing, along with radiating pain, tingling, numbness, stiffness, and difficulty sitting or walking for long.
