HelloThanks for writing to ChatDoctorDisc bulge is the protrusion of inter vertebral disc from its normal position in any direction. Mainly it is associated with degenerative disease of spine due to weakness in annulus fibrosis. It may be due to trauma also. Due to protrusion from its original position, it may compress nerve roots and this gives rise to pain. Take Care Chat Doctor.
