the strong pain in the area of the neck. 
weakness, 
tingling in the neck or around the spine zone where the bulging disc is located. 
Pain and the uncomfortable feelings of weakness may spread to the other parts of the body – to the shoulders, fingers, arms and hands. 
Age is one of the most common reasons of disc bulging as during the years discs become weaker and they deteriorate due to the loads and pressures.

The spinal discs are functioning like the cushioning pads and they decrease the pressure on the spine during the movements or physical exercises. In the middle of the disc there is a pulpous soft component, and around the disc there is a ligament, which is connecting the bones of the spine to each other.
