<s>[INST] hello i have a small bulging disc im my mid back with arthritus chiropractor says i have rib head out. if i stand or walk for any time my whole back feels like it s twisting and it s hard to breath. i also have two bulging disc in lower back and have had a neck fusion with two bone spurs in neck. what is causing my back to go crazy while i m standing or walking. i only get relief if i lie down and elevate my legs or put pillow under my chest and get someone to crack my back [/INST] Hi,The pain you are experiencing is due to the bulged disc. Whenever you take a deep breath the abdominal pressure increases thus causing more compression of the nerve, which causes a sharp pain. You should not carry heavy weights or bend forward excessively. You can also take over-the-counter pain medications. </s>
