?Explain the Difference

There’s a difference between a bulging back disc and a herniated verterbrae disc. The verterbrae disc, if you remember, is the cushion between vertebrae in your spine. A bulging verterbrae disc is a back disc that pushes out but doesn’t actually rupture the wall of the back disc. A herniated verterbrae disc is a verterbrae disc that bulges toward the back of the spine and it does break through the back disc wall. The outside wall of the back disc is called the annulus fibrosis.

The backpain you feel with a herniated back disc is due to the back disc pressing on a nerve. You can actually feel the pain in your legs if it’s a lower back vertebrae that presses on the nerves that runs down your legs. Most herniated discs happen in the lower spine or lower back. When the sciatica nerve is pressured by a herniated verterbrae disc, the pain can be intense all the way down the leg. There are lots of things the physician can potentially suggest you do to relieve the pain. You can do exercises to strengthen the back, take anti-inflammatory medications or get steroid injections for example. -

?I’m In So Much Pain!

The doctor labels pain according to how long it lasts and how often it occurs. They do this so they can determine which is the ideal diagnostic tool and the best treatment to use. The categories can get a little blurry at times though. For example, acute pain can be recurrent pain.

The first kind of pain is acute pain. Acute pain is pain that usually lasts less than one month. The level of pain depends upon what caused the pain. The worse the injury, the more it hurts. Chronic pain is pain that lasts longer than 3 to 6 months. You don’t even have to have an injury still healing for the pain to continue. Intermittent or recurrent pain is acute pain that happens over and over again.

There are several pain therapies used for the different levels of pain. You can do some at home while others require a physician. When you go to the doctor, he or she’s going to classify your pain after getting a history or your pain episodes.
