Bulging disc

Hey I’m after some help! I have 2 bludging discs. Does anyone have any tips to help relieve the pain? Should I be going to chiro or physio.?

Any stretches or advice? It’s irritating my sciatic. Going to have an MRI and injection ( had ct scan previously and this was recommended) but in the meantime, after help with anything that I can do at home. Drs hasn’t suggested anything other than my MRI

Wait for the MRI. It’s important. You could do more harm than good by doing anything else.

Hang off something, a door frame, I used to use the back verandah. It’s only temporary, but feels amazing

Don't let anyone touch you till you have scans, for my husband the phyiso that was gp recommended made it worse. He had steroids injected into his spine in 3 places over a few months. He also sleeps on ice to reduce swelling every night, lost weight and kept doing light walking. It has repaired itself. A spine specialist might also be a good plan
