Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, this is serious condition.
Bulging disc can compress nerves an cause leg pain, numbness etc.
You are also having urine incontinence. This is suggestive of worsening of compression.
So you need urgent spine surgery to relieve nerve compression. So consult spine surgeon as early as possible.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
