D Disk slippage, disk problems are what you will hear. This causes more back pain. The problem occurs when the jelly-like part of the inner disc between the bones in the spine bulges outside the disc. There are many reasons for this. What causes the problem? Find out if surgery is necessary to fix the problem.
Vertebral structure
Vertebrae are made up of bones. Between each vertebra is a soft tissue called a disc.
Discs provide support to the spine. Allows movement between vertebrae. This prevents the spines from rubbing against each other. They act as shock absorbers to avoid any problems while moving.
Why is there a problem?
Each disc has a hard outer layer with a gel in the middle. This gel hardens due to aging and other factors.
Sometimes the disc bulges outward. But, the outer layers of the annulus are intact. As the disc protrudes into the spine it affects the nerves.
Disc prolapse
Bulging of the disc is called disc prolapse. With a herniated disc, there is a hole in the outer covering of the disc. This allows disc jelly to drain into the spinal canal.
Generally, as we age, our discs lose strength and bulge downward. So bulging discs are an aging problem. This causes pain in the waist, legs and buttocks.
Not being able to walk..
When the problem progresses, it becomes very difficult. Bulging discs usually affect other discs. As the days go by the problem worsens. This leads to narrowing of the spinal canal and other problems.
