See below: The bulge is NOT the cause of your pain. You could have facet arthropathy, scare-iliac dysfunction, pyriformis syndrome, and first task is to get precise diagnosis. Would contact an osteopathic physician, and get fully evaluated. If all else fails, contact pain specialist or physiatrist. An exercise program offers your best chance of success.
