Suggest Treatment For Bulging Disc
For the last year, when i am at work mostly, after walking for thirty minutes to a hour my chest all the way thru to my back starts hurting real bad. I have had a mri and they say i have a bulging disc. Physical therapy did not help and im tired of pain meds. Is there any other thing that could possibly be causing this pain that is maybe not a disc?

Hello,
Mild cases can be easily managed with conservative management with postural adjustments and physiotherpay. If you are experiencing pain, you can take analgesics like gabapentin will be effective.
