NOT DISC ISSUE: Bulging discs are not pain generators, and many people have these without any symptoms. Look for sacro-iliac dysfnctn, but also facet arthropathies, and even an inflammatory joint disorder. See an osteopathic specialist or even a physiatrist, get this diagnosed and treatment can proceed.

Back pain: The back pain can be caused by spinal stenosis, ruptured disc, nerve impingement ... The treatment depends on the cause of the pain. It might include physical therapy, medication, injections, surgery ... I recommend you start with massage, exercise and heat pads. If your pain is not improved, you should seek help from a pain management doctor for a comprehensive evaluation and treatment.

Exercise: You should be doing a home exercise program to keep your back healthy. Check with your doctor who diagnosed you with these bulges.
