Lower Back Pain. MRI Shows Mild Disc Bulge. Suggestions?

I have lower back pain and it is so bad sometimes that its hard to get up from a chair or walk. It feels like something is moving out of place in my back. Some days are not as bad as others but it is getting worse and my back hurts 24/7. What could it be. I have had an MRI and it showed bulging disk but not bad enough to have surgery but the pain is so bad its feels like a knife is twisting in my back.
I'm going for another MRI next week. My last one was Aug. of 2012 but it has gotten worse.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having osteoartheritis changes in your lumbo-sacral spines giving rise to irritation and pressure on nerves giving rise to this type of pain.
Go for physiotherapy, it will give good relief.
Go for back extension exercise.
Sleep on hard bed.
Avoid forward bending movements and lifting weight.
Take calcium, vitamin A and D supplements.
Ok and take care.
