A protruding disc is a disc in the spine which has herniated, meaning that the soft material which is normally on the inside of the disc has pushed through a weak point in the connective tissue which normally surrounds the disc.ody where the disk is protruding outward. The pain mixed with the constant numbness and pressure makes it harder to notice any improvement from my injections. I'm concerned with the degenerative disks and can't come up with a reasonable option to reverse or correct the painful problem.
