There is a difference. a bulging disc means that the disc material is still intact inside of the disc. There is a weakening to the disc wall. A slipped disc is another way if referring to a herniated disc. This occurs when the disc material leaks out of the disc eliminating the cushion you have between the vertebral space. You can have either problem with or without symptoms. The only time you should consider having this repaired is if you are in pain. Either problem can be caused by trauma or by doing something as simple as sneezing.

Yes. A disk bulge is where the disk protrudes a little. A slipped disk is where it's 100% out. Both are painful where your nerve areas are narrowed by the surrounding tissue's impingement but the slipped disk is very severe and pretty rare. Bulging disks are often caused by normal movements just repeated constantly but sometimes caused by trama. Slipped disks are almost always caused by trauma.
