Hello,
Intervertebral disc bulging usually causes pressure on nerves emanating from the spinal cord. Initially, rest and painkillers can resolve the problem and relieve the pain.
I suggest you consult an orthopedician for clinical assessment and prescription of painkillers.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
