I’m not familiar with bulging discs so I would turn to a GP for advice.

I have them too and it’s miserable. When I have flare ups I use a silicone bead hot and cold pack that has elastic straps to keep it in place while I cook or work. I also use the endogamy clove and mint recovery balm which is expensive but effective or fisiocrem available from chemists (approx $15) was recommended by my osteo and is fairly effective. Hoping you find some relief soon

I sometimes have lower back pain when I awake so I do gentle stretching to relieve it. If it’s persistent back pain then you would be better off speaking with my doctor.

swimming really helps. but make sure you check with your physio first.

Use belt and a hood posture

Sleep on a flat bed i mean something thats not very jumpy. Try to get a medicated mattress and dont lift heavy things. Check your doctor for some good tips to stronger your back muscles

See a specialist maybe steroid injections

I think it depends on what the cause is, you could ask an Osteopath who know about these things. A good healthy diet and low key exercise like yoga help too.

I’m not sure but if you speak with your GP and see what they say…. Stretching and aerobics and swimming may be helpful …

A GP should be able to refer you on for support.

If you know you have a bulging disc that is evident on an xray or scan you can ask your GP or a Specialist may not have been a referral for yet what treatment is recommended. Don’t just rush off to a Physio or Chiropractor without seeking proper advice even if you know of one personally. I know somebody who did that for a knee problem, had treatment that didn’t work and found out it was not the right decision… For general lower back pain I found that taking Calcium with Vitamin D helped. However it does depend what food you can digest that contains calcium. That is part of what caused my lower back problem, also side effect from special medication I had to take for another serious health problem. The medication was leeching the calcium and minerals out of my bones…and teeth also. I had been on that medication for approx 5 years and pain for about 3 years before the cause was found

I suffer with endometriosis and lower back and pelvic pain the best thing I did was purchase a tens machine. They work a treat.

I was hoping to find some answers and assistance here as I’ve been suffering lower back pain, not a bulged disc though. I did a yoga workout the other day and found that helped. I was a bit sore and struggled at the start, but as I warmed up, things improved

I agree with previous comments

I would be seeing a professional doctor or physio a bulging disc would be effecting the nerves possibly good luck

I agree, get a referral from your Gp to see a neurologist.

Medical advice and strategies should be followed for neck and back pain.
