Hi
If you have no improvement on conservative treatment then the only option is surgery.The conservative treatments you can use is analgesics and muscle relaxants like tizanidine or thiocolchicoside.You can wear a belt for disc bulge.You have to consult a PMR or physiotherapist and do physiotherapy also.as your bulge is minimal you may get benefit. If no improvement on all these you can consider the option of surgery.Hope this may help you.
Thanks
