Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You are suffering from pain due to compression of some nerve between your bulging (prolapsed) disc. As you have been told you may require operation of back (lumbar spine). But that would be decided as per your MRI scan of lumbosacral spine. So you need to undergo an MRI. Meanwhile you should take analgesics like Tramado and Tab. Gabapentin.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
