Bulging disc can be considered a mild variant of a herniated disc or the precursor to a herniated disc. A bulging disc is a small protrusion of disc that is most likely still contained in the covering of the disc and often so small that it does not cause any symptoms. A herniated disc can be considered a disc that has bulged out so much that it causes symptoms or has actually ruptured out beyond coverings of the discs and often cause symptoms by pinching nerves.
