[|Human|] my dad has a bulging disk i have suffered back pain for some time but with only being sixteen its a big concern. my pain is at the lower part of my back mainly on the left hand side it hurts to lye down on my back and feels like my back is too arched. sometimes when i stand up it feels like im stuck and have to wait for a few seconds then slowly get up. i am just wondering if it is inherited as my grandad uncle and dad all have problems?
