I found some information that might be helpful. Here are some steps you can take to manage your bulging disc at home :

1. Take over-the-counter medications. Talk to your doctor before adding any new medications to your existing regimen.
2. Rest. Allow your body the time it needs to heal by getting enough rest while you pursue proper care.
3. Apply ice. Initially the painful area will likely be swollen and inflamed.
4. Apply heat.
5. Stretching exercises may help by strengthening the core and back muscles required for spine and core stability .

It is important to note that these steps are not a substitute for professional medical advice and treatment. If you are experiencing severe pain or other symptoms, please consult a doctor.

I hope this helps!
