Temporary improvements don’t mean the disc has reset or the nerve has room to calm down, and until both happen, flare-ups keep coming back.

A bulged or herniated disc creates real structural pressure and inflammation, which is why pain can burn, tingle, ache, and flare back up after one wrong move or long day of sitting.
