Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
With L5S1 disc bulge, the symptoms you present are common.There exist many treatment options for such conditions.Many options may be used at a time but your Doctor is always in the best place to know which ones to prescribe after a physical examination.Treatment options may include:
-Different lines of pain drugs depending on the intensity of the pain
-Myorelaxants like miorel
-Sterois shots/infiltration with anesthesia occasionally
-Physiotherapy.
Measures like enough rest, balanced diet, fitness exercises are always recommended.If the pain is too serious, i will suggest you see the Doctor to judge which of the above will be best for you.You may however get a pain drug like ibuprofen and a myorelaxant like miorel while you prepare to see the Doctor.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
