A diffuse annular bulge at L5-S1, even with minimal thecal sac compression, can cause severe back pain. Non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, pain medication, and lifestyle modifications are often the first line of management and can lead to significant recovery. This condition is not typically life-threatening but can be debilitating if left unmanaged.

I've been having these annoying muscle spasms for the last couple of days in that V-cut area of my lower abdomen, you know, where it leads down to the pelvis. It's a bit strange because they always seem to happen in the same spot unless I'm lying on my right side, then they shift to the middle of my lower abdomen. I talked to a neurologist friend of the family, and they mentioned it might be due to a stretched muscle, but I don't really feel any pain there. Just wondering if that sounds right to you or if it could be something else?
