Hi and welcome to HCM
Radiating pain in your buttocks seems to be due to compression of nerve root by disc bulge at L1-L2. As these disc bulge are mild , I suggest for conservative management in form of with medicines and physiotherapy. If pain is more epidural injection in back could be tried.
You must avoid any activity that aggravates the condition, like bending forward and lifting heavy objects, sitting long hours on computer, inappropriate sitting posture, etc.
Hope this will helps you. Take care.
