Suggest Home Remedy For Pain Caused Due To Bulging Disc
my MRI results are in and I have a bulging disc mid spine. Is there home remedy for it such as ice and ibuprofen to alleviate this pain I have had for 3 years or do I need to make an appointment with surgeon? I already have a lumbar plate and cervical plate from previous surgeries from degenerative disc disease. This disc is mid back. I lay down frequently on ice and have tried to rest but everything is temporary.

hello,
Thank you for using healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think that you need to do exercises and physiotherapy to strengthen the core muscles of back and abdomen to prevent the bulging disc to progress in a discal hernia.
Swiming also is very good for such problem.
Try to not bend forward and lift weights but use the knee instead.
icing and ibuprofen is Ok for few days when you are worse.
I wish you quick recovery.

I think you can do exercises to strengthen your core muscles, such as back and abdominal muscle.
In this way you will prevent progressing of disc bulgging into a disc protrusion or hernia snd the pain may decrease.
Wish you quick recovery.
