Hello,
I have studied your case.
Due to compression of nerve root there can be pain.
Also there can be large disc bulge which is compressing over spinal cord.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give you relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
If nerve compression becomes symptomatically severe then surgical decompression will give permanent relief.
Many of my patients get relief from fatigue by yoga pranayama and sudarshan kriya so you can also due that.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
