Bulging disc questions

Posted By: Jim Cav (d-128-201-182.bootp.Virginia.EDU)

So, i was just diagnosed with a slight bulge in the disc between L4-L5. I really don't have pain during normal activity and can squat moderately heavy without much problem. It had been feeling weak during pulls. The Doc wants to do a cortisone injection, which i don't think i need since i have little pain. So, what are people's experience with this and am i done training heavy and/or competing?
