A bulging disc may or may not have developed protrusion or herniation, but your symptoms could be also due to muscular strain, facet impingement, or even sacroiliac dysfunction. Agree that proactive visit to physician is indicated if symptoms do not improve over next few days. If pain radiates into leg, weakness ensues, bladder issues develop, do not delay, and contact your doctor ASAP.
