Does Bulging Disk Cause Sores In The Vertebrae?

Hi, I have back pain for almost a year (bulging disk), which got better with exercises. Now I have a painful spot on the lower spine, which I did not feel before, a little sore at touching but feels like a bruise when pressed. It is between the vertebrae. It also hurts when straightening my back while standing. Is this also from the bulging disk? Or maybe ligaments or muscle (I have stopped physical exercises suddenly, I guess I should have done it progressively). Thank you!

Hello,

This could very well just a continuation of some mild soreness and tightness as your body acclimates to a new exercise routine.

I don't think entirely stopping your exercises is necessary unless the pain became so intense that it simply stopped you in your tracks.

You may wish to consult a physician who could refer you to a physical or exercise rehabilitation specialist that can continue your program with as needed alterations.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
