A posterior annular tear is a painful condition in which the annulus, or the part of the spine that holds the nucleus in place tears.
the doctor say i have a minimal annular bulge at c-3-4 what does this mean?
A posterior annular tear is a tear in the ligament fibers that cover the inner core of a disc. The discs separate each vertebra in your spine. A posterior annular tear in the L5-S1 discs indicates the location in which these tears occur. L5 is the fifth and lowest of the lumbar vertebra and the S1 is the first and highest sacral vertebra.

It is remodling of the back side of the bony vertebral bodies, causing a ridge-like effect, while at the same time, there is a bulging of the annular disk material. It is this phenomenon which can cause impression onto the spinal cord, which travels through a canal behind the vertebrae. These, along with a couple of others are characteristic of degenerative disk disease.
There is compression of the disc between the cervical vertebrae 4 and 5, which is leading to bulging out of the disc from all sides.
