You should take proper postural care, pain may be due to work related, so you should take rest, to cure PIVD in needs time, regular basis physiotherapy, mainly extension or rotational biased exercise depending on the position of bulging. Initially you should X ray , and should excluded other diseases like A.S etc.... After that if you have no AS , then go for inial pain medication along with physiotherapy in regular manner...
