Q

What is a bulge/ protrusion?

A

Bulges outward through a tear in the AF, but does not escape from the outer AF or the PLL.
Bulges against the PLL and dura generally producing dull, poorly localized pain in the lower back and SI region.
Pain is worse in the morning due to inhibition
Generally no leg symptoms
Pain is worse with sitting, because the noiceptors within the AF are irritated by the protrusion.
