Hi
So lumbar spine has a natural curve.
Your not able to sit for more than 5mins suggest your core muscles around the spine are weak.
Small Disc Bulge at L2 -L3 is absolutely correct able.
I would recommend you to send me ur MRI reports and ur vitamin D3 & B12 levels reports. It will take 15days for you to recover with my online consultation.
Next Steps
I would recommend you to Sleep on your stomach with pillow at ur navel and apply hot water bag on your back. 15mins thrice a day.
