Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Its possible that the disc bulge is again causing problem or it maybe something else. Since its a severe back pain, it requires orthopedic visit again. For now avoid sitting or lifting weights. Take rest. Take appropriate painkillers like voveran and muscle relaxants. Drink lots of water. Back strengthening exercises under guidance of physiotherapist or osteopath.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
