Re: worried again!
Ask your Dr. to see a physical therapist. They have specific treatment protocols for disk problems. It all depends on how bad the buldge is if it will works. Sometimes if therapy doesn't work, surgery is the only way to correct it. But they usually don't do that unless you are getting nerve impingment from buldge. There is no quick fix for the pain but icing will help, avoid bending forward as this puts more pressure on the disc. Depending on the direction of the buldge back extension positions will help repositin the fluid in the disc.
Hope this helps.
