hi,
The loss of touch,pain and temperature depends on the area of disc bulge in your case if you have the symptoms in the legs it coud be due to disc bulge in l4,l5,s1 and in the arms due to c5,t1.
kindly corelate and get a consultation with a neurologist or neurosurgeon for the same and if the bulge is not much few back exercises might help.
take care.
