I have had three lower disc surgeries. none of the three produced a bruise. Did you have an accident, which would have caused the bruising in that area? Is your pain going down the back of one or both legs? If so, i assume you have seen a doctor. this worked for me......... Lay flat on your back. place both legs in a chair, where your back will be perfectly flat with the floor. this relieves all the pressure on the lower back muscles. Nothing worked for me, except surgery. I feel great now.

I have arthritis in the middle of my spine and I have had my fair share of severe back pain. I find that exercise is beneficial for alleviating stiffness in my back. I work out with a treadmill three times a week and I find that moving around a lot is very beneficial. I would think that surgery would also be beneficial by removing scar tissue around your disk. This may make the bruising stop. I don't put a lot of faith in back surgery because it won't make a degenerative condition go away. I did find this link to be very informative and it might alleviate some of your concerns: http://www.spine-health.com/topics/cd/degen/feature/w_degen01.html Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

Exercise and stretching. Always start with gently stretches. You should be taking anti inflammatory pills if you have bulging disc and be very careful about the stretching before exercise.
