If you’ve been diagnosed with a protruding disc, it means the gel inside the disc is bulging unevenly, which can pinch and irritate nearby nerve roots.
A herniated disc occurs when this gel breaks through the disc’s outer layer, often causing pain and numbness due to nerve irritation. In some cases, this injury can be quite severe.
The most serious type is a disc extrusion, where the gel significantly extends outside the vertebrae or detaches from the disc entirely. This usually causes intense back pain and limits your movement.
