Hello Jetstar, Please accept my concerns for you. L4-L5 and L5-S1 disc bulges without any neural compression could not be causing left hip pain, as there is no neural compromise, as simple as anything. Similarly,C5-C6 disc protrusion with just thecal compression and no nerve compression could not be causing shoulder pain. MRI findings as in you can be seen in many normal persons. I hope it helped.
