Suggest Treatment For Tingling Sensation On Legs When Diagnosed With Bulging Discs
About 5 weeks ago I was diagnosed with a bulging L4 L5. Since then I have come a long ways in recovery (2 ESI, PT....I can lay down and sit decently comfortably). My main concern and discomfort is in standing and walking. When I am on my feet I get tingling down my leg and a pressured pain in my left glute, like there is a rubber band ball the size of a baseball in my cheek. I am wondering how I can continue to improve? The only thing holding me back from being at least 75-80% is the tightness in my left glute. I guess my question is, is this normal for an L4 L5 bulge in the recovery process?

A bulging disc is a very common occurrence that results in a spinal disc compressing against an adjacent nerve root.
