hi,
thank you providing the brief history of yiu.
As you mentioned that you have a disc bulge confirmed on MRI I will recommend you to undergo physical therapy and make the core and spine muscle stronger. as to avoid any future recurrences.
also the disc shrinks in its size over a period of time. but it all depends upon the physiology of each individual.
Also, it depends on how musvh strength is there in the spinal muscles to relieve pressure from the disc.
Usually 99% patients recover with physical therapy.
