Bulging disc: Well, bulging disc is very common and therefore this is no predictive correlation between MRI finding and pain level. Please consult your provider if you have back pain. Physical therapy could be an option for you.

Spine Pain Options: This chronic pain in the distribution as you suggested is the result of an irritated nerve or facet joints or other injury typically in the lumbar spine (low back) which are caused by herniated disks, spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease, etc requiring further evaluation by a spine specialist and may be candidate for facet injections/radiofrequency ablation and epidural steroid injection.
