"💥 Back pain from an L4-5 disc bulge?
One viewer asked:
🗣️ “L4-5: Diffuse annular disc bulge with nerve compression…” —sounds scary, right?
Here’s the truth: a scary report doesn’t always explain why you hurt—or what to do about it. In this bonus episode from Bob & Brad, I cover:
✅ Why a “disc bulge” doesn’t always mean severe pain
✅ How hidden movement patterns drive your back pain
✅ What you can start doing differently to manage symptoms
I’m Rick Olderman, physical therapist and author of Pain Patterns: Why You Are in Pain and How to Stop It. Learn the patterns behind stubborn back pain and sciatica.
