Disc protrusion

Download high quality version http://tinyurl.com/au62pf
Your spine is made up of a series of bones separated by small cushions called discs. If a disc is strained beyond its limit, it can bulge or rupture and put pressure on one of the spinal nerves. This painful condition is called disc protrusion. This animation shows how disc protrusion can develop.

& remember always bend your knees when lifting!

@steam0001 but then you're just ruining your knees. the pressure has to go somewhere. you're just relocating it, not removing it.

@60muvi1 Physical therapy sometimes, other surgery. I had surgery in 2000, need it again.

I never bend over, even when dropping something; mostly because I don't like the posture. But now, I think that it's a good habit: always bend my knees.

It happened suddenly and the pain streches fro lower back to the leg. What are treatment possibities?

Great video. I wonder if this is what I got since I do feel slightly weak legs.

laying is better than sitting- walking is better than standing. Prevent too high forces at backbones, and in some way it depends on a natural "behaviour".

I have 2 herniated discs at L4-L5 and

L5-S1. The L4-L5 disc is sticking outwards, and the poor vertabra has extruded inwards!! Man, the pain!!!!!
