Explanation

"No disc bulge" refers to the condition of the soft, cushion-like pads between the bones of the spine, also known as discs. In this context, it means that these discs are in their normal shape and position, and are not sticking out or swelling into the space where the spinal nerves are located. This is a good sign as it indicates that there is no pressure being put on the nerves, which could otherwise cause pain or discomfort.
