Hi,
Thanks for contacting HCM.
I have gone through your query,as your MRI says the bulging discs in your spine compress the nerve roots which supplies your lower leg and cause the numbness.
Since the bulge is mild your prognosis will be good and you will recover soon.
Consult an orthopedician with special interest in spine or a physiatrist ( Doctor specialized in physical medicine and rehabilitation).He will guide you to some kind of exercises and lifestyle modifications.
wishing you all the best.
Thank you.
