What is a "bulging disc?" and was it caused?

At rimes I have some discomfort, but nothing I can't live with, now my Dr wants me to go for pain management..and I don't know if that's necessary.

I have a bulging disc - should I attend core strengthening classes?

I have quite a bit of back pain. A recent MRI shows a bulging disc is the source. A good friend who teaches Yoga recommended attending her core strengthening class to help with the pain. I attended one class several months ago before I was diagnosed and it increased my pain substantially for about a week or two.

My friend is very angry at me for not taking this class as she believes it would help with my back pain. Every hunch I have says it will make things worse.

Should I take this class?
