Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Back pain after weight lifting may have too reasons:
1. Soft tissue (muscular) damage
2. Herniated disc disease
If dhe MRI that you report is done after weight lift and shows only bulging, then there is soft tissue damage, rest and pain medication should improve the pain, if MRI is done before the weight lift maybe that bulging was transformed to herniated disc disease and you need another lumbar MRI to confirm it. The treatment options depend on MRI findings. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
