Brief Answer:
Disc bulge can occur due to trauma

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

I have noted the medical details and MRI findings. Disc bulges can occur due to fall and trauma. However, osteophytes are not due to trauma. Osteophytes are caused due to wear and tear due to routine daily activities.

I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
