: : I have a bulged disc my symptoms are severe. Dr keeps saying that it's only a bulged disk,,as if i shouldn't be in this much pain (im confused)

: I have a bulging disc at L4,but right now I don't have pain.But that doesn't mean you wouldn't have pain.I'm sure you can have pain with a bulging or herniated disc.I had a herniated disc at L5 and I could not hardly walk.I guess it depends on how bad it is.I have no doubt your in pain.It's sad that you should have to convince your doc. your in pain.Just keep insisting on that.good luck.Mary

hang in there it took me three doctors.now im going for a meylogram/ct scan. had 6 epi. first 3 worked great but the last three form a diffrent doc. did not do as good. iv'e been in this pain for 1 1/2 years now . so just hang in there
