Thanks to HCM
I CAN UNDERSTAND your concern
i would like to know your age and profession
yes according to mri scan there is some bulging at L4-5 which is the cause for sudden pain while changing your posture

so nothing to worry ,simple measures if you take you can get relief from it .
wear lumbar belt for few weeks so joint rest to vertebra will help

pronged sitting or standing ,frequent bending will aggravate the pain .so try to avoid it

take analgesics like hifenac mr tablet along with multivitamin for few day will give relief of pain .. ok .
