Hello desttar,
Please accept my concerns for you.L4-L5 and L5-S1 disc bulges without any neural compression could not be causing left hip pain,as there is no nenural compromise,as simple as anything.Similarly,C5-C6 disc protrusion with just thecal compression and no nerve compression could not be causing shoulder pain.MRI findings as in you can be seen in many normal persons.I hope it helped.
