Hello,
As your MRI is showing disc bulge so most probably this can be reason for his pain at back. The rest and analgesic are commonly used to treat this type of ailment.I will suggest you not to take non scientific treatments. Instead you may also do following to have relief:
- Use a lumbosacral belt to prevent abnormal movement at back
- Apply a local analgesic ointment
- Do warm water fomentation over affected area with a water bag
- If this is a disc bulge only then you may discuss about use of mild steroid with your doctor
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
