Bulging Disc, lower back pain, leg pain

Question

Asked for Female, 18 Years

I had an accident about 6 years ago, and was told that I had a bulging disc in my lower back. At the time, and for the last 6 years, I have been experiencing minimal pain and functioning at near full capacity, until a few weeks ago. I was doing a lot of exercise (for a marching band camp) and began experiencing swelling and severe pain. After a few days rest pain went down, but I am still experiencing pain, numbness, and tingling in my lower back/legs.
