welcome to Health care magic.
1.As your reports says, mild indentation and disc bulge.
2.In this case one will ask you to do some exercise and rest, no intervention can be planned.
3.One can ask for physiotherapy.
4.If all that are not giving relief you need to see your specialist and plan for intervention.
5.Where the bulged out disc which is putting pressure on the sac will be excised and relived from pain.
6. i would recommend try more exercise, and try lying on a flat bed.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
