Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms, history of fall and MRI spine findings.

It is possible that fall has led to the bulging discs. However, it could also be related to sitting posture, lack of exercises, etc.

You should consult a physiotherapist and start doing back extension exercises.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
