sm bulge small tear
There are persons w/small bulges and huge symptoms and people w/large bulges and no symptoms. Tears.. ? as to what degree of pain it causes tho anular tears can cause a great deal of pain or so I was told when my L3 tear was supposedly culprit in part of my pain scenario.
I would be very careful re any type of hands on care that involves manipulations/crunches that could possibly excelerate a disc prob or even too vigorous PT. Sometimes you don't know until after you've had even some very standard treatment that you're feeling worse than better.
Just move forward w/care re your spine. Core excercises are a pretty safe bet re physical reconditioning. Get a few more opinions before you act surgically.
