L4/L5 with mild diffuse buldge indenting the theca, but no compression on nerve root or neural foraminal compromise what should I do? I am doing exercises for the past three months. It was ok after 45 days to 65 days. But again pain started in the legs

Dear
I am sorry for the symptoms you are suffering
It is recommended that you put a lumbar fortress and use pain killer to avoid pain
In my opinion if there is no spinal stenosis or motor deficits avoid surgery.
I think you will be fine if you protect yourself from physical stress, use lumbar fortress and pain killer
Best regards
