A bulging disc – L5 S1 is the most common location for this condition to occur. This article will discuss the most common symptoms for this condition, what causes it, and the most effective treatments for it.
Although this problem occurs in the lower back, low back pain is not the only symptom you may experience with it. It’s very common to have additional symptoms, such as pain traveling down the legs (sciatica), hip or buttock pain, difficulty sitting or finding a comfortable position, abdominal pain, and problems with the bowel and bladder.
This happens because the nerves in the lower back that are affected by a bulging disc at L5/S1 control these parts of the body, and if the disc applies pressure to these nerves, you will see these parts of the body malfunction.
Many say that these additional symptoms are actually the worst part about the condition because they can really get in the way of your daily activities and limit you quite a bit.
The causes of a bulging disc in general are trauma (an injury of some sort, like a car accident, sports injury, or a slip and fall), hereditary (if someone in your family has it, you’re more likely to develop it), and chemical toxins in the body (for example, smokers are more likely to develop this condition because the toxins break down the wall of the discs).
As far as treatment is concerned, most doctors will prescribe medications (usually a combination of pain-relievers, anti-inflamatories and muscle relaxers), pain injections (such as cortisone or epidurals), physical therapy, and surgery in the worst cases.
Usually surgery is not recommended unless you have not responded to any of the other treatment methods, because the success rate is very low.
Alternative treatments have also been found to be helpful, especially chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage therapy.
