Does anyone know what "diffuse disc bulges" mean from an MRI? I couldn't really find much info on the internet. What does diffuse mean? I don't know if thats bad or good. Everything else was good on the MRI.
I am having lower back pain - off to the right side of my spine. I had a lumbar MRI done and it showed these bulges at L2-3 and L3-4.
My 2nd opinion surgeon said this would not be causing pain to the right of my spine and that these are degenerative changes and normal for me - 38 years old. He thinks I may have a soft tissue injury or pulled muscle and suggested PT and exercise. I won't see my 1st surgoen - the one who actually ordered the MRI until next week so I will compare notes from the 2 after that.
