How Can Bulging Disc Causing Pain In The Left Leg Be Treated?

Had an MRI this week - results show narrowing in L4 & L5 & bulging disc. Dr wants me to see a neurologist. This bulge causes pain on left leg - IT band area & causes right foot numbness. Slight pain in low back. All these symptoms are intermittent. A little ibuprofen & a bag of ice help a lot. What can neurologist do for me. I’m a gym rat - so work out 5 to 6 days a week! I’m sure if I stopped working out I’d get better! Don’t want to do that! Suggestions?
