Hi. I understand you a disc bulge in your back causing back pain. Usually this may cause pain in your back and it may radiate down the leg (sciatica). Now most patients can be successfully taken care of with transforaminal nerve root injections. In severe cases, spine surgery is advised. If you are scared of surgery, take a second opinion with a pain physician. Good luck.
