The disc bulge at L2/3 is lateralized towards which side is not clear as you have mentioned. Ith left and riggt at the same level L2/3. Anyway a small annular tear is nit a cause if major worry. Take some muscle relaxant like thiocholchicoside 4 mg twice a day for few days along with some pain killer like tramafol 50 mg or diclofenac 50 mg.
Next Steps
Once your pain settles, start some back strengthening exercises
