Explain the Difference

There’s a difference between a bulging back disc and a herniated back 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 verterbrae disc. A herniated back disc is a verterbrae disc that bulges toward the back of the spine and it does break through the verterbrae disc wall. The outside wall of the verterbrae disc is called the annulus fibrosis.

The backpain you feel with a herniated back disc is due to the verterbrae 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 recommend you do to relieve the pain. You can do exercises to strengthen the back, take anti-inflammatory medications or get steroid injections for example.

What the X-Rays Show

Usually, if the doctor decides he or she needs to actually look at the bones of the spine, an X-ray is ordered. But even if you get an x-ray that doesn’t mean you’ll suddenly have all the answers. The x-ray can only show bones and not muscles, tendons or ligaments. So if your backpain is not due to broken bones, slipped vertebrae or other bone problems the x-ray is pretty much useless. Some physicians just skip right to the MRI or CAT scan instead.

Taking x-rays has been such a routine practice for so long now it’s probably ordered sometimes more out of habit. As the new procedures become more widely used I would expect the x-ray to be used less and less for backpain diagnosis purposes. Of course, x-rays are good from the viewpoint they are often done right in the doctors’ offices now, are painless and give speedy results. Just don’t be too disappointed when you don’t find out the first trip what’s causing your pain.
