Can Bulging Disc And Tear Cause Painful Swelling On Lower Back?

I have had lower back swelling and extreme pain for over 6 mths. X rays showed buldging discs and tear but doctor said it should not cause pain. I can barely walk sometimes or tie my shoe. Ive tried pt, back injections, message therapy and chiropractic nothing has helped
