Suggest Remedy For Back Pain
I was injured last year and my right leg started hurting so I went to the dr and they put me thru physical therapy. My leg started feeling better but my back started hurting.Under further investigation I have a bulging disk and also a herniated disk. The company dr said the leg problem was a result of an injury but is having a hard time coorilating the back as well because of the the time frame in between pain in the leg and then pain in the back.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having sciatica pain due to pinched nerve due to bulging and herniated disc.
If you are elderly then this might be due to degenerative changes in your spines.
Due to old injury on the site can also give this problem as it is likely that at the site of injury osteoartheritis changes starts after some time giving this problem.
Go for regular back extension exercises.
Avoid weight lifting.
Ok and take care.
