Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult spine surgeon. Your disc bulging is causing compression of nerves, coming out from disc space. And this compression, when severe, can cause loss of power (paralysis) of lower limb and neuritic type of pain. So at present you can take painkiller but for permanent solution you need surgical procedure to reduce compression. Also start vitamin B 12 as it is helpful in nerve repair and its function. So consult spine surgeon and discuss all these.
