[|AI|]  Posterior disc bulging with annular tear at age of 44 yrs is quite common for this site. These findings are the results of default posture or over exertion at spine, so suggests chronic in nature. To prevent its progression you should correct posture, start spinal strengthening and extension regime of exercises. For this you need experts guidance by rehab specialist and physical therapist.
