When did the pain start. Is it today or few days back or few months back. First of all we have to understand it is acute or chronic pain. Also we have to check the symptoms. The symptom which you have mentioned is one symptom of disc bulge. But we have to check another symptom also to make sure it's disc bulge or some other problem like central canal stenosis or ligamentum flevum or facet joint arthropathy.
Next Steps
if it's a fresh disc bilge use cold pack and mckenzie exercise ( extension)3-4 times a day for 3 days. If its a old pain then we need to talk and chek the exact problem.
Health Tips
No forward bending, no lifting. And consult Physio ASAP through practo and get releived from pain.
