1
If you have pain in your neck that lasts more than a week, you may have a bulging cervical disc. See your chiropractor for advice. In the meantime, over the counter anti-inflamatory drugs may help.
2
If you have pain, numbness or tingling down your arm or hands, you may have developed a bulging cervical disc. This is caused by pressure on the nerves.
3
If you have ever had whiplash, you may very well have a bulging cervical disc.
4
If you have pain in your upper part of your back that lasts more than a week, you may have a bulging cervical disc.
5
An MRI ordered by an neurologist should be able to diagnose a bulging cervical disc. An x-ray only takes pictures of the bones. An MRI takes pictures of soft tissue.
