Disc Bulge L5 S1? Burning Feel & Pain Pls Help. I want it fix :(

[GrantP]

back pain difficult to diagnose when you see it never mind over internet. however, seems as though you have some mechanical back pain. where exactly is your burning feeling? groin, buttock, legs, feet etc. i would not recomend ab workouts but pilates or core work as these muscles more important for stabilising and controlling your back. you mention L5-S1, has anyone assessed you sacro-iliac joint - this can affect things. also seems you need to have myofascial release type massage, if this and anti-inflammatories are giving short term relief then stabilise with pilates. other considerations may be blood tests to rule out any inflammatory component to your symptoms, see and discuss with your GP.

the disc bulge will not go, the cortisone may help releive the inflammation and pain but if the disc bulge does reduce it will be over years.

also check your set-up on the bike and adjust as neccesary

you will need a sereis of exercises to do, but this depends on your exact presentation and their effect.

good luck

where exactly is your burning feeling? in the lower back.

What type of Pilate exercises?

[GrantP]

burning in lower back without any referral into legs is good, would query significance of your disc bulge on MRI. burning into groin or saddle area, or loss of bladder/bowel function would be a worry.
pilates, see an instructor experienced with working with physios with people with low back pain, as they can decide where and with which exercises to start you on and ensure you do them correctly
