I have a bulging disk in the lower back, just found out that the bulge is right in the middle of the disk, which creates pain in the left and right butt cheek, a long with pain down the back of my right leg and numbness in the right foot. WCB is telling me that because the bulge is small that I should be experiencing no pain with it (trying to make it sound like I am making it up -- but that is their job). Does the size of the bulge matter on the pain factor ? I hurt it 6 months ago, have gone to the chiropractor, did 2 reconditioning programs, on pain meds, anti-inflammatories, and now am going to see the Neurosurgeon to see about the epidural steroid injection and/or surgery to fix it. But does the size of the bulge matter when it comes to pain ??
